IOA made significant progress, decision on final warning after Dec 10 polls: IOC

Lausanne: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has noted the “significant progress” made by the IOA in resolving its governance issues but until it completes the elections process on December 10 the global body won’t decide on withdrawing the warning for a ban on India.

The IOC, in September, had directed Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to hold elections by December or face a ban.

The Supreme Court of India had then appointed former Justice L Nageswara Rao to amend the constitution of IOA and prepare the electoral college.

“With respect to India, the IOC Executive Board received a report on the situation of NOC of India following the decision taken by the Executive Board in September 2022 to issue a final warning to NOC,” said James McLeod, Director of Olympic Solidarity and NOC Relations of IOC during its Executive Board meeting here.
