Clean Sports India demands action against tainted officials for attending IOA meetings

NEW DELHI: The Clean Sports India (CSI) today approached IOC and demanded action against tainted officials Lalit Bhanot and Abhay Singh Chautala for allegedly attending Executive Committee meeting and the General Assembly of the IOA.

In a letter to the IOC President Thomas Bach, CSI President Ashwini Nachappa alleged that the tainted officials were still "controlling the Olympic Association".

The EC meeting and General Assembly were held on December 18 and 19.

"Your intervention and support to our movement to bring about transparency and accountability is important and hence request you to kindly take necessary action at your end," Nachappa wrote in her letter to Thomas Bach.

"We are afraid that if you do not take any action on these people for participating in such high level decision making meetings of Olympic body, reforms will merely remain on paper and not to be implemented," she added.

Bhanot and Chautala have been charged by courts for alleged corruption.
