CWG 2014: Indian athletes yet to get full quota of daily allowance:shocked::shocked:


A large number of Indian athletes are yet to get their full quota of daily allowance a week into the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Most of the 215-strong Indian contingent have spent more than 10 days without the full allowance which has been increased to $50 (Rs 3000 approx) from $25 (Rs 1500 approx).



Who is the bloody sports minister??

Yeah :( some very close games in shooting that lead to silver...and the silver rain in wrestling the other day.

I have a feeling boxing might just turn into all bronzes hope I'm wrong though, but the problem is boxing is so unpredictable, especially if the matches are really close.

Anyway one silver confirmed in TT doubles, and a chance of gold.
Pinki rani bows with a bronze.
Hope the other boxers fare better.

Disappointed with too many silvers. Losing golds in shooting at critical times & not up to the mark in Boxing finals. Only wrestling is the saving grace for India. Sub-par performance compared to 2010 CWG games.

How are they giving out points? I am surprised, even in earlier stages and now.

CWG: Two senior Indian officials arrested in Glasgow

GLASGOW: IOA general secretary Rajiv Mehta and wrestling referee Virender Malik were arrested in Glasgow on Saturday on separate charges.

According to reports, wrestling referee Virender Malik has been arrested for alleged sexual assault while Rajiv Mehta has been arrested for alleged drunken driving.:scared2::taunt::taunt::taunt::taunt:

The two officials, however, are not part of the official 215-strong contingent which is staying in the Games village. Both of them were reportedly lodged at a local hotel.

Media reports, quoting a Scotland Yard spokesperson, stated that "two male members — aged 45 and 49 — were arrested on separate charges."

While one of them was reportedly arrested in the Glasgow city centre, the other official was held in the west of the city, which is hosting the 20th Commonwealth Games.

Reports added that the two officials will remain in police custody over the weekend, and will be produced before a Glasgow magistrate on Monday.

India is currently fifth in the medals tally of the Commonwealth Games.
