It has come to this awful pass because of an
ongoing tussle from over a year ago between the International Olympic
Committee (IOC) and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) over
governance, regulations and accountability. India has been suspended from the Olympic movement since December 2012 due to its failure to comply with the Olympic charter.
When it became known that Indian athletes would walk out in Sochi under the Olympic flag, a newspaper described it as a “Walk of Shame.” The real shame, though, we must always remember and remind ourselves, must never lie with the athletes in Sochi. It must always be attached to the names of the men who will gather for their second (and second-grade) election on Feb. 9.
