IOC sticks to chargesheet clause; India's entry into Olympic fold delayed

India's wait to get back to the Olympic fold will be delayed further after the International Olympic Committee stuck to its stand on the chargesheet clause. In a decision in Buenos Aires yesterday, the IOC insists that the Indian Olympic Association must adopt the "charge sheet" clause for good governance.In its Special General Body Meeting last month, the IOA had proposed a compromise formula to IOC's directive asking it to bar chargesheeted persons from contesting elections.According to the IOA proposal, the sanction will apply only to those officials who are convicted and sentenced to a jail term of more than two years. But the IOC stood firm on its stand during its Executive Board meeting yesterday ahead of the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires, and asked IOA to accept all demands in full before conducting elections.
