Sacked as Common wealth Games Organising Committee chief, the embattled Suresh Kalmadi got the full support of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA), the national apex sports body which he heads, in its common body meeting (GBM) in New Delhi. The IOA GBM, which was attended by representatives of National Sports Federations and state Olympic associations, valued the hard work put in by Kalmadi's team in "successfully" hosting the CWG.
"The GBM unanimously expressed full confidence in its president Suresh Kalmadi, MP. The House appreciate the hard work by the team in not only successfully bidding to get the Games to India for the first time but also conducting it in such a manner the international community, particularly the athletes, went away a fulfilled lot," an IOA statement said.
"The meeting noted there had been international acclaim for the conduct of the Common wealth Games 2010 Delhi and commended the Indian athletes for their performance both in Delhi and in the Asian Games in Guangzhou," it said. The GBM, held in New Delhi yesterday, amended the IOA constitution but closed short of complying fully to the International Olympic committee's directives issued last year as good governance and transparency measures.
"IOA also amended its constitution in keep with the IOC's suggestions to ensure good governance, transparency, and to include athlete commission, arbitration commission and ethics payment in its framework."The IOA also generally decided to form a delegation to meet the new minister for youth affairs and sports, Ajay Maken and have an in depth dialogue with him about the government guidelines," it said.
