NEW DELHI: The bitter fight among the Indian Olympic Association’s (IOA) members to decide the rightful president of the national Olympic committee (NOC) is becoming uglier with each passing day.
On one hand is the IOA’s senior vice-president Anil Khanna, who claims to have been appointed as the Olympic body’s head by the Delhi High Court, and on the other is the Athletics Federation of India’s (AFI) boss and one of the nine vice-presidents of the IOA, Adille J Sumariwalla, who asserts to have been enjoying the support of 18 out of 31 executive council (EC) members of the NOC, who have pledged their support to his presidentship.
