Indian Olympic Association treasurer Sadev Yadav Around this time Against us Usha’s claim IOA Executive committee members failed to agree on Laughter and celebration Paris Olympic proposal Board of trustees Whereas medalist has termed her statement a ‘bold faced lie”. Usha noted on Monday, when olympic medalist “He was making much more promises than I would assume about some European Commission members,” Pandra remarked.” The finance committee has also levelled charges against Usha that the finance committee has simply frozen the funds allocated for enhancing the preparation of Indian athletes in the lead up to the Paris Olympics.
Hitting back Usha’s allegations Sadef said: “…neither was there discussion with the EC members and there was no formal written proposal to hold a celebration strategy for the medal winners of the ‘Paris 2024 Olympics’.
‘Usha, who is also the President of the Indian Weightlifting Federation is well known to have hounded Sachdev with lies. Additionally, instead of taking responsibility as provided in the constitution of the Indian Weightlifting Federation, Usha was wrongly accusing Sachdev of concealing information and tampering with the proceedings.
‘’What a pity, ‘How come the IOA chairman on issues not related to the EC members and well clothed in evidence, makes statements to the country denying their indiscriminate suppression without any basis in fact.’’’
“…her constant request and recommendations came simply from the perspective of the president making fabrications or at times weeping for effect before the cameras…”
India’s unlikely medal rush caters to six medals to them at the paris olympic games including two oines, historical as they are, for junior shooters Manu BarkerBut Usha said on Monday that she was ‘very sad’ because ‘the European Commission does not want to congratulate them on the success’.
“These athletes have brought honor to their country and it is time that the IOC takes its responsibility and recognizes these athletes’ efforts in the war the way they deserve to be acknowledged”.
“It is unfortunate that even after getting back home in mid-august, the situation in Europe was still so sombre that even the European Commission held in abeyance any discussions or more importantly, actions, on how to start planning a formal celebration,” she said in a statement.
She also revealed for example that the finance committee more particularly sachdev has rejected the proposal to give each athlete participating in the Olympics a reserve of Rs 2 lakh and Rs 1 lakh for each coach.
In this regard, Sahdev Yadav stated as follows: “We wish to let everyone know that any proposal which was made and sanctioned by the members of the EC and Finance Committee is made available immediately and en cash by the Treasurer of IOA Mr. Sahdev Yadav” Indeed, discord within the IOA has persisted since the day Mr. Raghuram Iyer took charge on the 5th of January. He needs to be removed from the position.
The bone of contention; however, is the Rs 20 lakh and even more that he pays himself using bills and allowances.
On 26 th September, on the request of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), an Executive Committee (EC) meeting was called to discuss overcoming the issue, but the stalemate still extended.
On Saturday, over a dozen executive committee members sent a letter to senior International Olympic Committee member Jerome Poivey, claiming embattled Usha turned down their request to remove Raghuram Iyer from her position as IOC president. The chief executive officer of the committee has come under fire from members of the organisation who claim Usha runs it in an “absolute power” fashion.
Usha termed the charges as ‘baseless & defamatory’ and held the controversy as playing into the hands of people who are against her and want to overturn our sports development attempts in India.
