Adam Gray, vice president of security integration for the Vancouver Organizing Committee, said the man’s fake credential was not how he entered the building.

“In the interests of ensuring the integrity of the venue security, understandably we cannot provide specific details on how he entered,” Gray said in a statement. “However we can confirm that we’ve made changes in collaboration with VISU (the security task force) to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

“We’re confident,” Gray said, “that the venue security system ensures a safe and secure environment for all.”

At BC Place and other Olympic venues, those entering must first pass through checkpoints where tickets and credentials are examined, then go through airport-style security screening procedures.
