The Indian Olympic association suspended the Indian hockey federation for activities that bought discredit to the nation and decided to form an ad hoc committee to run the affairs of the game. The unanimous decision was taken at a meeting of the IOA's executive committee, convened to discuss the future of Hockey administration following a sting operation by a nes channel on IHF secretary K.Jothikumaran. IOA president was authorized to decided on five member panel until all the issues were resolved and a amicable solution was reached.
This is the second time that such an ad hoc body was formed and the last time it was formed was in the year 1975. Mr Kalmadi admitted to the fact that the Indian Olympic association had to intervent because of increased pressure from International Hockey Federation. The members, who called for some drastic action, were unhappy with the fact that India failed to makei it to the olympics for the first time in 80 years.
The gerenal secretary of the International Hockey federation had sent a letter to the indian Olympic association urging it to take prior action to guarantee the administration of the Indian Hockey Organisation and India hocey function properly without any mishandling and manipulation. THis type of a happenings should definitely not be encourages and must be avoidd in the future. If you ask me, Those guys should be banned or even better out in jails. Hockey in the national game of the country and it is such a disgrace that such an incident should have happened in our country. All we can do is to make sure that such a kind of incident which has put the nation to shame does not happen again.
The government must put up a commission to make sure that the accounts of the federatrions are being auditted and are accounted for so that there is no one manupulating the accoutns and there is no favoritism
