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.

yeah - send a handful of officials and athletes. we hardly invest in sports anyways. just make it official that we arent interested in sports.
