MUMBAI: A few days after Indian Olympic Association acting president Anil Khanna and secretary-general Sandeep Mehta contradicted his claim of being the new IOA president, Adille Sumariwalla stuck to his guns that he indeed is the boss of the organization.
"I'm the president, that's all. There's nothing to discuss," the former sprinter, who's president of the Athletics Federation of India since 2012, told reporters on Monday at the announcement of a sponsor tying up with AFI to support India's women athletes. Brushing off some of the IOA officials' statements which objected to his claim, Sumariwalla said, "You can say what you want." When told there was a court order that status quo be maintained at the IOA, he shot back: "Show me the court order. There is no court order."
