India should partially boycott - send fewer officials
by TongInChic on Apr 07, 2008 01:06 PM

Normally, an Indian Olympics contingent consists of more officials than athletes. I don't have the statistics on hand but I suspect that the player to official ratio is something like 1:3, if not more.

If we find an excuse for not sending so many officials and reduce the ratio to say 2:1 - one official for two athletes, the athletes will be able to perform in peace and the country can save a lot of money spent on useless officials going for pleasure jaunts at the taxpayers' cost.
