The International Olympic Committee, IOC has suspended the Indian Olympic Association and asked it to amend the IOA Constitution to prevent corruption-tainted persons to contest elections.

The IOA officials, however, say that amendments to bar corruption-tainted officials cannot be carried out as Indian law permits chargesheeted persons to contest even Parliamentary elections. Three representatives from the IOC will also attend the today’s meeting.
