It is high time Mr. Kalmadi moved out and made way to an Olympian who almost won us a medal but for the appalling training facilities and politics, such as Milka Singh. We do not need administrators and Babus. We need passionate people who know the lot of the athletes and know what exactly needs to change. Please move on, Sir! Otherwise the Govt should initiate steps to appoint a new IOA team. The objective is to win Gold medals - not merely make polished appearances at the Intrntnl Olympic Committee meetings in Switzerland or at Olympics. Please understand it in the right spirit. The FASTER you resign, the HIGHER we will go, the STRONGER our chances to win Gold medals. Jai Hind!

Agreed, Kalmadi is corrupt. But will the people of his constituency realise this and elect some one else in the next general election. I am sure, they are not going to do that. By this time, he has not only amssed huge wealth, but also built up a vote, which none will be able to break. this is what all Mulayams, Lalus and Pawars are doing. People who criticise politicions vote for these very politicians knowing well their true colour.

Sir, It is not about his constituency and what the voters think. It is about how to write a new chapter in Indan sports.

It is amazing how our sports bodies have people with no conscience and commitment to the nation. It should all change if we have to be a SPORTS SUPER POWER in the world. Sooner they leave their posts, the better.
