Most sports officials and administrators are open to having a new National Sports Development Code. They welcome it as long as it ENSURES TRANSPARENCY AND CLEAN GOVERNANCE.
Adille Sumariwala
(President, Athletics Federation of India)
I welcome the code as long as it ensures transparency and credibility of administration. If it helps in controlling doping, cheating, age fraud etc., I am sure most federations would like to have such a code. I am sure it would conform to the Olympic Charter. It will always help to have a sports code.
Dhanraj Chowdhary (Former Secretary General, Table Tennis Federation of India)
I am all for a sports code. It is much needed because we have to have a model of clean governance. The Olympic Charter is clear that there has to be transparency and accountability. There ought to be an age limit (for officials), because it would pave the way for young people with fresh ideas. I am sure a good code would go a long way in professionalising sports administration.
Anandeshwar Pandey (Joint Secretary, Indian Olympic Association)
The biggest question is what are you including in the bill (Sports Code)? Who is making the bill? Has anyone from the grass-roots level ever been involved in formulating a bill?
