Olympic solidarity director

Indian Olympic Association: The ongoing internal squabble in the Indian Olympic Association involving president P.T Usha and members of the Executive Committee has forced the International Olympic Committee to act against India and stop financial assistance to India's National Olympic Committee till further notice.

The IOC has issued a letter addressed to the IOA President and the Executive Committee members informing that "the IOC and Olympic Solidarity will not make any payments to the IOA, except for direct payments to athletes benefiting from Olympic scholarships".

In a letter signed by James MacLeod of the NOC Relations and Olympic Solidarity Director, the IOC said an appropriate solution needs to be found "within IOA so that the IOA can operate properly in the interest of the athletes and the Olympic Movement in India".
