In a stunning development that could snowball into a major controversy, the Indian Olympic Association has named Commonwealth Games scam-tainted Suresh Kalmadi and controversial former president of the Boxing Federation of India Abhay Singh Chautala as honorary lifetime presidents.
Not part of the agenda at the annual general body meeting here on Tuesday, the decision was taken at the fag end of the gathering when a member proposed their names and the house unanimously endorsed it. A life president has no voting powers and can only attend an AGM.
Meanwhile, IOA officials refused to comment.
