Indian athletes threaten to boycott Olympics over Dow sponsorship

[IndoCarib]

The presence or absence of Indian athletes will not have any effect on the London Olympics as far as the sporting event is concerned. The medal tally table will remain unchange. If cricket was an olympic sport then the effect would have been felt on the stadium attendance. But cricket will never be an olympic sport as it is played only by the ex British colonies that is a handful of countries.

Yes. Dont you know that Pakistan also plays cricket ?

very self respecting stance

Kuddus to indian olympians for taking this stance. People who caused the bhopal diaster should be punished sevrely

If this is Athlete's stance on their own.. then I'm all for it! but if it's govt sponsored brinkmanship.. then it's absurd. It's the same congressi govt, both at state & center let Union Carbide run away with murder!!
Having said that.. i can't see Indian athletes boycotting this event. Unlike cricketers these guys don't get that many opertunities to experience the limelight!!

@superkaif you are in england.... u know how brits are. not all brits are bad but most of them are bad.... They treat indians, pakistanis, bangladeshi, black people like as if we are Sh1Ts.

Why has Vietnam not on this list? I guess we did taught them a lesson back in 1946.

Asian Continent should rise up and explore more. We need to have this kind of mindset to understand the world a lot better. We need to rise up and set good examples to the world! We need to unite as one but still have our independence and boundaries! We need to embrace one another! We must recognize our weaknesses. Our weakness is that we are not getting along! When we fight each other, we are open doors for the white men! We have to stop going against one another and learn to EMBRACE!

who the hell indian sports persons think they are ?as if they are the big sporting power in the world whose absence at Olympics will cause a lot of concern to the world.It doesn't matter to the world if india participates or not.Btw indian should look into there own girehbaan before accusing UK for allowing the DOW sponsorship to the Olympics.It were the indian PM,CM who allowed Dow go scottfree from india and watever meager $200 million or so amount dow gave for rehabilitation of bhopal gas sufferers ,india's own PM,CM, and politicians ate away with the helping hand from the judiciary.So why blame UK,USA,DOW.first get your own house in order then you have right to blame others.

I can challenge anyone for any amount of money that this chap is surely a FALSE FLAGGER!!!
i am getting so good at finding these guys!!
