Vijay Goel returns from Rio, says will clear 'misconception with facts'

August 14, 2016 09:42

Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel, under fire for earning an official rebuke from the organisers at the Rio Olympics, returned to New Delhi on Sunday morning and said that he will clear the 'misconceptions' on the controversy surrounding him with 'facts'.

"There are a lot of misconceptions regarding the issue right now which I will clear when the time is right. I will put my side of the story with facts in due time," Goel said on his arrival in the national capital.

Earlier, the Rio Olympics Organising Committee, in a scathing letter to India's Chef-de-Mission Rakesh Gupta, had threatened to cancel the accreditation of Goel for being 'aggressive and rude' and trying to bring non-accredited people at the accredited areas of the Games venue.
