IOC suspends Indian Olympic Association, flays govt role

Tuesday, December 4, 2012

In a huge embarrassment for India, the International
Olympic Committee (IOC) today suspended the Indian
Olympic Association (IOA) because of government
interference, a development which puts a bar on the
country's Olympic participation.

A report quoting two officials with knowledge of the
decision, said that a formal decision about the
suspension will be made at the end of the first day's
Executive Board meeting here.

The decision was largely expected after the IOA decided
to go ahead with the elections tomorrow under the
government's Sports Code, defying the IOC's diktat to
hold the polls under the Olympic Charter.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the
official announcement had not been made yet.
