IOA convenes urgent meeting of HI and IHF on Tuesday-The IOA has convened an urgent meeting of Hockey India and Indian Hockey Federation in New Delhi on Tuesday to discuss International Hockey Federation's threat to stop India's participation in London Olympics if issues relating to the game's governance in the country were not resolved.
IOA acting president Vijay Kumar Malhotra said in a statement in New Delhi that the meeting will look into issues raised by the FIH in its letter to Sports Secretary, Sindhusree Khullar and will try to find out an amicable solution. In its letter to the Sports Ministry, the FIH has warned that India's participation in next year's London Olympics and other international tournaments may be jeopardised if IOC charter and FIH statutes were not adhered to while resolving the issues related to the governance of the game in the country.
The FIH has taken away the hosting rights of this year's Champions Trophy from India because of the long-standing power-struggle between Hockey India and Indian Hockey Federation.
