IHF gets rap on knuckles from FIH
The Indian Hockey Federation received a ‘sting’ of another type, this time from the FIH, hockey’s governing world body.
FIH boss Els van Breda Vriesmanwith said they were unable to work with a federation having a secretary under investigation following the sting operation carried out by TV channel, Aaj Tak. She also said the ‘Promoting Indian Hockey Project’ and the 2010 World Cup were in danger unless this mess was sorted out.
She pretty much indicted IHF supremo, KPS Gill too;
“Now the IOA has to manage Indian Hockey Confederation because I don’t think we can work with a half-suspended Secretary General (K Jothikumaran) and a president probably linked because he protects his secretary in this case. The agenda before the Indian table is clear. But who is going to take the decisions. It is upto the Indian Olympic Association and the Sports ministry to handle the situation, it is not up to us.”
Testing times indeed for the IHF !
