International Olympic Committee suspends India

Sport has been corrupted in all countries, but the difference between India and other countries is that other countries have been able to at least leave enough funds to make their athletes compete at the highest level and come home with honours.

Absolute statements. So how much does India fund sporting vs others and what is not left back vs countries? since you made that proclamation , you I presume have that data handy. I know personally you don't and the statement is just another from the " legend in his own mind fella" because he thinks he is a journalist because he is a blogger" ....

Obviously not enough either way and the corruption grave enough, since India got less medals than even tiny Denmark in the last OG.

That's why a sports lover like me rejoice over this suspension.Its about time some body kick these blood sucking parasites in their nuts.

Rejoice at IOA’s suspension

I think we should all cheer lustily that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has suspended the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).

Just looking at the worthies who have been running IOA and some of its affiliated associations is enough to make you mad. Who are these people? Apparently, Abhay Singh Chautala, who was about to become president of the—well, we can’t call it IOA anymore, can we—the Indian Whatever Association (IWA), has been head honcho of Indian table tennis for some years. Well, the way he is built and speaks, the only use I can imagine he could ever have for a ping-pong table is to pick it up and break it over the head of some political rival.

Vijay Kumar Malhotra has been the kingpin of Indian archery for about half a century or something. That’s the sort of devotion to the bow and arrow that would have had Dronacharya quivering with pride. Jagdish Tytler has been running Indian judo for quite some time now. Yes, OK, that seems somewhat appropriate, though Tytler’s record suggests he prefers brute mob force over techniques like the kneeling shoulder drop or the springing wraparound or the two-hand reap (no, no, that sounds mysteriously relevant).

Suresh Kalmadi, who was monarch of the IWA for many moons, was in jail for looting public money. While in prison, he claimed
dementia (can someone with dementia know that he has dementia?). One of his lackeys, who also spent time behind bars, is back as secretary general of the IWA, despite grave objections from the IOC. During his tenure, Kalmadi made sure that the constitution of the IWA was never amended to be in line with the IOC charter. His successors have maintained the status quo. The key reason for this is that if the IWA falls in line, an age limit and a tenure limit kick in for the IWA fat cats. Now, where would that leave people like Malhotra and other similar parasites?


To force IWA’s hand, the government came up with a “sports code” which is, for all practical purposes, the IOC charter. The IWA protested that the government had no locus standi and refused to implement the code, while telling the IOC that it was being subjected to government interference. The Delhi high court ordered the IWA to hold elections under the government’s sports code. The IOC forbade the IWA to hold elections unless it followed the IOC charter and rejected the jailbird as secretary-general. The IWA now played the government against the IOC, saying that it had no choice but to hold elections since it had been ordered by the court do so. Point to be noted here is that the government had no objections to the IWA adopting the IOC charter instead of the sports code since they are basically the same. But the IWA played too smart since the men there thought they could fool all the people all the time.

The IOC finally ran out of patience and did what it was duty-bound to do—it suspended the Indian entity. The IWA immediately made it look like the international body was punishing it for saying that it had to go by the government’s sports code. Which was not entirely incorrect, but grossly misrepresentative of what had actually happened.

In the last few months, citizens of India have been trying to figure out how much shame people in our public life can take without blinking, forget blanching. The obvious answer is: hell of a lot. In fact, the way our politicians have behaved indicates that we are nowhere near breaching their fortresses of astonishing shamelessness. The Olympic fiasco is just another test for them, because, of course, the IWA elite comprises entirely of politicians and their cronies.

In this case, however, there is hope, because there is an international body—the IOC—involved, so the IWA mafia can’t hide behind walls of silence. They can’t pretend to be deaf and they can’t pretend to be mute, as their compatriots in Indian polity can. Whenever they open their mouths to speak, they can only make their own positions worse. There don’t seem to be too many ways of escape left for them.

And we should rejoice over every such small victory. The IWA has for years been an affront, by all yardsticks, to a nation of sports lovers. At least a few obnoxious men in power have now been shamed and defeated.

India is people driven society, not Party (Commnist) driven society. We see the benefit, If Sports will yield more money we will play, else we will do something else.

Recently Sports are paying well, so our kids are participating better than ever.

who are you cheating? india is a caste driven country!there is not a shortage of prize money or commercial sponsors in sports!But only the capable can earn them!india is not up to international class in a large no of sports.

india is at the bottom rung of many things. Olympic sports is one of those!

Through our sports system, we have helped a large no of athletes who have registered their own names and our country in world records, taken home numerous honors, paved highly rewarding lives and careers for themselves, passed on their invaluable experience to our kids and helped those overseas!We earn our respect in the arenas!

You are pretty sad dude. You come and make absolute statements about India, when asked to back it up, you squirm out of it and try to move the topic into a different direction. your credibility is as good as a tabloid blogger...
 
Sun Yang and Ye Shiwen who won 4 Gold medals in Olympic Swimming contributed a lot more to our country than a random accountant would have done.

Being the best in the world at a particular sport/event is certainly not a waste of time. It is striving for excellence.

..all the Ye's and Yang's in the world contribute nothing except entertain few people for 15 minutes of fame. Jackie Chan does far more entertainment than all these 'Jump higher and run faster' monkeys put together.

..only Excellence they achieve is on how to abuse their bodies by taking performance enhancing drugs, and not get caught.

a wasted life which will then be spent in regret or for 0.01% who win anything, in reflected glory.

Indians dont care enough to make an effort in trying to impress other people. Chinese are the exact opposite.

Their careers will start after they have left trying to impress people by doing acrobatics. The only experience they will pass on is how to train others to follow their foot path and contribute nothing to society.

If you want 'respect' so bad maybe you can start your own 'Gladiator' contest.

caste driven indians contribute minimal to nothing in Olympic sports and no athletes will give a damn to any indian participation who are habitually bounced out and get unqualified in the first hurdle in many sports events in the Olympics!

There are plenty of reasons for indians to stay poor! not getting enough monetary rewards and sponsors is one of the reasons!

No one will miss your participation!Just be a drop-out ( like your dropping out of the recent PISA test!)!
 
...we get enough 'respect' in our country. There really is no incentive to 'earn respect' by performing acrobatics.

This is one 'test' you are free to study for as we really dont care to participate. Drop out is only if you plan to give the test in the first place.

so chill out indians!no whining nor crying! no one cares about your presence!Let the funds be invested in the sports of other South Asian countries!
 
..we are chilled out ...you on the other hand seems excited.

Maybe you should try to jump a little higher so that you can attract some 'sponsor' for your monetary well being. You can then train your kids to jump a bit more higher and perform so that he can 'earn' his sponsor as well.

good luck chinese, we will miss your presence. Some one to run and jump for us is indeed a special treat.

Churchhill was right. Indians can't govern themselves. This is another proof that India needs outside force to make it behave.
