Are these sports Organizations in India answerable to the people in any way? If India does not go far in the Olympics, i will be of firm belief that it will be the bad policies and lack of balls of the IHF.
They are deliberately playing with the lineup, in every tournament, we find new faces, old made to sit.
The cowardly IHF has been unable to take the doping issue head on but rather stuck its head in the sand.
and yes,
<b> Dhanraj Pillay deserves to play in the 2004 Athens Olympics. </b>
Let the face of Indian Hockey have a last respectable fighting Olympics before he can retire with pride. But the big egos of IHF officials will prevent them from giving him any respect whatsoever. <!--emo&:mad--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
IHF and BCCI, if any institutions in India need reforms, it is they. <!--emo&:furious--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/furious.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='furious.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Anyways,
at least womens' Tennis in India is on a growth curve.
