Abhay Singh Chautala ready to relinquish IOA Life President's post, if IOC has reservations over it.


Abhay Singh Chautala had remained defiant and on Wednesday declined to step down as Indian Olympic Association (IOA) life president. Earlier, in the day, Suresh Kalamadi decided to refuse the post of life president with the apex sports body after a notice from the Sports Ministry to the IOA."This is a conspiracy to defame sports, will not step down as IOA life president before I clarify," Chautala said.


On Tuesday, former IOA presidents Kalmadi and Chautala were appointed life presidents of the apex sports body in the country.
Kalmadi remained the president of IOA for 15 long years before his alleged misdeeds in the build-up to the Commonwealth Games were exposed. He was forced to step down and was arrested for misappropriation of funds before he was released on bail.
