The government today de-recognised the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation and the Archery Association of India. Announcing this at a Press conference in New Delhi Sports Minister Jitender Singh said Sports persons are the top priority of the government. He also said, India's sports code is the same as the Internanational Olympic Committe charter.Earlier, the International Boxing Association, AIBA, had suspended the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation, IABF alleging possible manipulation in its recent elections. In a statement, the AIBA said , it will now investigate this election. However the IABF has denied the charge, insisting that the process was transparent. The development comes within a few days of the International Olympic Committee suspending the Indian Olympic Association.During the September elections, outgoing President Abhay Singh Chautala, who was elected IOA President despite IOC's suspension, was retained in the body as nominated Chairman . The development now also puts a question mark over Chautala's election as IOA President, since he came into the fray as an IABF representative. Meanwhile, talking to reporters in New Delhi today, Chautala said that he was willing to step down from his post and the body was ready to hold a re-election to regain AIBA's affiliation. However, Chautala said re-election was an option if that is what the AIBA insisted on. He said that AIBA can send its observer and fix the date also. Chautala said that he had told the IABF President and Secretary General to speak to the AIBA officials and sort out the matter.
