Mary steps down from CDM post citing personal reasons

This development means the contingent have to find a new CDM with just over 100 days to go. The multiple Worlds gold medallist told this daily that it was a decision that was forced by some compelling issues.

Mary said that she was really thankful and grateful to the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) for considering her as the CDM but the enormity of the responsibility could be a bit too taxing for her at the moment.

"I stepped down because of some personal reasons," she said. It is understood that she is going through some challenging times of late and that has put additional pressure on her. She mentioned that it would be difficult for her to leave the family, including her children, behind.
