The differences within the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) are harming sports and sportspersons and a solution must be found at the earliest, feels Cycling Federation of India (CFI) president Parminder Singh Dhindsa


The IOA was suspended by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on December 4 due to "outside interference."

"The IOA must get the government, the IOC onboard and get rid of their apprehensions regarding the elections. We should avoid confrontation with the IOC and get back into the Olympic movement at the earliest. The suspension happened because of the internal differences at the elections. These differences are harming sports," Dhindsa said.
