The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said yesterday it was taking over the administration of the men's national field hockey body following accusations of bribery against a key official involved in team selection.
The IOA has suspended the Indian Hockey Federation and appointed a five-member panel to take temporary control until all issues have been resolved, association president Suresh Kalmadi told reporters.
Indian Hockey Federation official Kumaraswamy Jothikumaran resigned last week after a television channel claimed to have filmed him accepting a cash bribe to include a player in the national squad.
