India's Olympic ban continues as IOA drags its feet

April 03, 2013 13:35

The joint meeting between the representatives of the suspended Indian Olympics Association, the sports ministry and the International Olympic Committee, to find a way in resolving the issue that led to India's ban from the Olympics, is likely to get postponed for the second time in two months.

The meeting scheduled to be held at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland on April 15 and 16, hangs in uncertainty now as the representatives of the IOA, V K Malhotra and Randhir Singh, and the sports ministry have not made headway over differences in age and tenure cap of officials, who head the sports federations.

The IOC suspended the IOA after the government tried to introduce age and tenure guidelines, which amounted to the violation of the Olympic Charter.
