The Supreme Court said on Thursday that politicians and businessmen heading sports bodies are causing harm to the games and should leave their running to sportpersons.The apex court was expressing concern over the standard of hockey falling to an abysmal low in the country. A bench comprising justices T S Thakur and J Chelameshwar was hearing a plea filed by Indian Hockey Federation, which is at loggerheads with its rival Hockey India, seeking stay on the proceeding initiated by Federation of International Hockey to find out which of them is to be recognised to represent the country at international events. The bench said it is unfortunate that the government has not been able to control the games leading to numerous litigations filed by private individual persons for controlling the games in the country.
