Ioa executive council

International Relations Jerome Poivey: Indian Olympic Association (IOA) chief PT Usha has hit back at the false and baseless allegations made by 12 IOA Executive Council (EC) members in a letter addressed to International Olympic Committee (IOC) Director of International Relations Jerome Poivey.

The 12 EC members, which include Olympic medallists like Gagan Narang and Yogeshwar Dutt, Sehdev Yadav, etc., have written a letter to senior IOC official Jerome Poivey accusing the legendary athlete of running the organisation in an "autocratic" manner.

"These accusations are only intended to malign my leadership and the efforts of those working diligently towards the betterment of Indian sports," PT Usha wrote in a letter.
