N.
RAMACHANDRAN BECOMES NEW PRESIDENT OF IOA
The decks were cleared today for India's return to
the Olympic fold with Indian Olympic Association conducting its polls with N Ramachandran being elected as the president.
The election of 65-year-old Ramachandran, chief of World Squash Federation as IOA president was a mere formality as he was the lone candidate in the fray for the top post.
Kho-Kho Federation of India President Rajeev Mehta and All India Tennis Association (AITA) chief Anil Khanna were also elected unopposed as Secretary General and Treasurer respectively in the polls which marked the exit of corruption-tainted Abhay Singh Chautala and Lalit Bhanot from the IOA.
The three observers from International Olympic Committee said they would submit a "favourable" report to IOC president Thomas Bach and expressed hope that India's suspension would be revoked sooner than later.
