IOA president Usha says executive council's agenda for SGM 'illegal'
The Morning Standard|October 11, 2024
THE tussle of power between the India Olympic Association (IOA) president and the Executive Council (EC) has plummeted to new depths on Thursday. A day after IOA's EC issued 26 agenda points for the Special General Meeting (SGM), scheduled to be held on October 25, IOA president PT Usha called the move illegal and in violation with its own constitution.

The SGM was called by Usha and the agenda had 16 specific points including the discussion on the appointment of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). However, six days later, the IOA EC, supported by 12 members, had circulated a new set of agenda including discussion of no confidence motion against the IOA president. It was expected that the EC would bring in the no confidence motion.

The letter sent on Wednesday night was signed by Kalyan Chaubey in the capacity of joint secretary and acting CEO. He was re-appointed the acting CEO by the EC members during the acrimonious EC meeting held last week. Interestingly, last year the International Olympic Committee stopped communicating with the acting CEO because it was in violation of the IOA constitution.

Chloe and South Africa in pursuit of a date with destiny

CHLOE Tryon was over the moon. After all, she had taken a stunner to dismiss Australian captain Meg Lanning at the packed Newlands Stadium in the 2023 T20 World Cup final. With a shortish ball from Marizanne Kapp on offer, Lanning had almost nailed a pull shot before Tryon sprinted from deep backward square leg to complete the catch. Such was the occasion that she roared her heart out facing the crowd who had turned the stadium into a South African party.
