Finally, Truce in IOA; CEO Appointment Ratified by the EC
The New Indian Express Madurai
|July 25, 2025
In the end, it seems like much ado about nothing. Finally, all the factions in the Indian Olympic Association seem to have buried the hatchet.
The Executive Committee has ratified the appointment of Chief Executive Officer Raghuram Iyer on Thursday. The appointment of CEO Iyer in January last year led to the majority of the EC members objecting to it and alleging that the IOA president had decided on this unilaterally without the consent of the EC. More than 10 EC members signed a letter objecting to it. Just over eight months, the IOA seems to be a unified lot.
IOA president PT Usha said on Thursday that everything has been sorted and the CEO appointment has been ratified, which the EC members had objected to then. "Everything is sorted out; that is why the CEO (Iyer) is sitting with me," she said during a press meet in New Delhi.
