India could face Olympics ban - IOC - Yahoo! News

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AFP) – The International Olympic Committee's executive board warned India on Thursday that it could bar the country from the Olympics unless a spat over Indian sports chiefs is resolved.

The board said in a statement after a two-day meeting here that "a number of points still have to be resolved".

"Consequently if the situation does not evolve positively, the IOC executive board will consider taking appropriate measures and actions which might seriously affect the representation and participation of India at the Olympic Games and international sports events coming up," it added.

The IOC insisted that India's government had agreed at a meeting in Lausanne last June to adopt a jointly agreed draft constitution for the Indian Olympic Committee and respect its autonomy.

India clashed with the IOC last year over new rules limiting the tenures of the country's top sports officials, according to letters seen by AFP in May.

The Olympic body has the power to impose sanctions including suspending the country from its membership -- a move that would prevent it taking part in the 2012 London Olympics.

How will India respond to the "threat" from IOC ???

Is it jurisdiction of International Olympic Committee to limit tenure of Indian sports chiefs?

This reminds me of the news when during the Winter Olympics Vancouver 2010 Indian ski team didn't event have proper gear and clothing to participate in the event.

Oh no.. we are going to lose the hundreds of expected gold medals!!!
Anyway, Pakistanis should be last people criticizing us about non performance in olympics.

Very wise indeed ,India should not be allowed to host any major sporting event after what happened to the CWG.

With the dismal performance at the Olympics, Indians have become desentized to any "loss of face" at the Olympics

I really hate the fact that many world wide events like World Cup and Olympic are held hostages by POLITIC.

US and Western Europe always uses these things as weapons against other developing countries.

Especially the nobel peace prize.
