The IOA (Indian Olympic Association) wants the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to change its Constitution in line with the IOA to permit chargesheeted candidates to stand for election. We also have some problem with the age limit and restriction to the number of terms permitted. The IOC is rightfully standing firm to cleanse the system, but with our politicians backing, we firmly told the IOC to respect the laws of our land which permit such candidates,unless convicted, to stand for elections! The whole world is going by the IOC rules, and ethics is very important in sports. Naturally chargsheeting is a "minor" matter to be ignored by the lawmakers who are the elected lawbreakers, by and large ruling our country. Their personal interests and egos come above the interests of our sportspersons and the national interest!Perhaps for them the Olympic motto should be changed to Higher,Faster, Stronger pollution of decorum, ethics and morality as exhibited by our Parliamentarians who are bereft of, what is known as " sportsman spirit"!The result will be that our sportspersons may not be permitted to take part in the Olympics or if permitted, not under the Indian Flag. More international disgrace if the IOA is expelled as member for this reason of tainted officials!
