Cracking the whip against the Indian Olympic Association and the National Sports Federations, the Sports Ministry today asked them to furnish details and expenditure incurred on their officials' various junkets abroad, especially the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

The ministry has directed the IOA and the NSFs to place a detailed information of all their 'spendings' and regulations on their respective websites by August 20.

"Complete details of officials, who were sent to the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow by IOA/NSFs along with the amount paid such as air fare, boarding and lodging, local transportation, daily allowance etc. has to be shared on the website," said a Youth Affairs and Sports Ministry release.

List of players (along with support personnel), who actually participated in the CWG, will also be needed. Further, the IOA and NSFs have been asked to post all the detailed information on their website with regard to all international events to be held in India and abroad.

From the details of coaching camps organised to the list of participants, support staff and coaches, the selection criteria of such events and the performance criteria which formed the basis of selection will all be required to be listed on the website as per the new government guidelines.
