NEW DELHI: Following the "corrective action in reversing the decisions with regard to Suresh Kalmadi and Abhay Singh Chautala," the suspension of the Indian Olympic Committee by the Government has been revoked. Chautala and Kalmadi had been made life presidents of IOA but the decision was reversed in view of widespread criticism.
Youth and sports minister Vijay Goel said: ”Since IOA has admitted the faux pas, and regretted the inconvenience and embarrassment caused to all concerned, it is expected of IOA that it will uphold the highest standard of probity and ethics in its functioning in future.”
In the light of the above developments and keeping in view the larger interest of promotion and development of sports in the country, Goel has revoked the suspension of deemed recognition of IOA imposed on 30 December 2016 with immediate effect.
