Ban on IOA gives an opportunity to clean the mess: Randhir Singh
Tuesday, December 4, 2012
Former IOA secretary general Randhir Singh today said
that the IOC's decision to ban the Indian Olympic
Association gives an "opportunity" to clean the mess, and
insisted that the international body is not against the
country but against the system.
"The mess that is happening today in the Olympic
committee needs to be cleaned up. I think what we are
heading for now with this suspension is that it gives an
opportunity to clean the mess," Randhir said.
"Let me tell you IOC is not anti-India, it is against the
system," he added. He said the focus should be on the
sportspersons.
"Let's focus on India. The sportsperson is more important
than anybody and to the Olympic movement than to any
office bearer.
"We are there for the sportsmen. The administrators must
understand that prime person is the sportsperson. He has
to be respected and honoured, and not us," the veteran
sports administrator added.
