Reacting to Abhinav Bindra’s potshot at sports administrators in a leading daily, IOA president Suresh Kalmadi responded like any babu in this country would do, defending himself and the system.

“Politicians, bureaucrats or top industrialists should head the sports federations as they can better communicate with the sports ministry,” he said. “The secretary should be from the field of sports and the selection committee should comprise all international players.”

“What Bindra means is that there should be a chief executive officer (CEO) in sports bodies. It’s high time all sports bodies had a CEO to run the federations to ensure efficiency.”

“I would welcome the players talking to the officials openly. It is tough time for us officials as well.”
