Prove that $Q$, $S$ and $T$ lie on the same line.

$begingroup$


Let $(C)$ be a circle , and $ABCD$ be a quadrilateral inscribed in $(C)$



Let $P$ be the intersection of $(AD)$ and $(BC)$. And $Q$ the intersection of $(AB)$ and $(CD)$



Let $S$ and $T$ be points in $(C)$ such that $(PS)$ and $(PT)$ are tangents to $(C)$



enter image description here



this problem can be done by Lahire theorem or projective geometry or polarisation.



But I wanna if there is a simple solution by angle chasing or radical axis



here is what I think we should do :



$$widehat{OSP}=180-widehat{OTP}=90$$
so OSPT is cyclic



so the problem reduces itself to prove that Q lies on the radical axis of $(C)$ and the circle where $OSPT$ is inscribed.



N.B: This problem is taken from a preparation test for IMO 2020 in Morocco.

    Is the solution based on poles and polar lines interesting. I have such one.

    I aleady have a solution based on poles nd polar lines , but I'am looking for a an easy solution based in angle chasing or radical axis

    I don not have a solution based in angle chasing,but it is not based on pole and polar lines as well, you interested?
