Problem Statement

Let Ω\Omega be a circle with a chord ABAB which is not a diameter. Γ1\Gamma_{1} be a circle on one side of ABAB such that it is tangent to ABAB at CC and internally tangent to Ω\Omega at DD. Likewise, let Γ2\Gamma_{2} be a circle on the other side of ABAB such that it is tangent to ABAB at EE and internally tangent to Ω\Omega at FF. Suppose the line DCDC intersects Ω\Omega at XDX \neq D and the line FEFE intersects Ω\Omega at YFY \neq F. Prove that XYXY is a diameter of Ω\Omega .
