as an IOC member <strong>and</strong> also being the secretary general of IOA <strong>and</strong> OCA. I believe government<br />

meddling is not good for the sports. Yes I agree that public has wrong impression about the IOA <strong>and</strong><br />

NSFs because what happened before <strong>and</strong> after the Commonwealth Games, but government agencies<br />

are looking into the alleged corruption charges, let them do their work. These are unfortunate<br />

happenings, people are angry, but we won’t allow few bad eggs to spoil the basket...We are against<br />

government using the backdoor methods to infiltrate into the NSFs or the IOA. We are elected<br />

members. The IOA <strong>and</strong> NSFs are democratically elected bodies <strong>and</strong> we live in a democracy.”<br />
