India bribed 72 nations to get Delhi CWG: Report

[mohib]

MELBOURNE: India bribed 72 Commonwealth countries $100,000 each to get the hosting rights for the scandal-hit 19th edition of the Games which will start in Delhi from October 3-14, a media report claimed.

A report in the Daily Telegraph claimed that Delhi pipped Hamilton in the bid after offering huge sums of money to the 72 Commonwealth countries during the final presentation in Jamaica.

The report also said that Australia received a kickback of $125,000 from India.

"Delhi sealed the right to host the Games when their delegates emerged at the final presentation in Jamaica and offered all 72 nations $100,000 (then about $140,000) each for athlete training schemes if they were the successful bidders," the newspaper reported.

"The money, subsequently paid to all nations, was not significant to Australia because it had already decided to vote for India and the payment was not an exceptionally large one.

"But for small nations who have minimal interest in the Games, it clinched their vote and India went on to beat Canadian city Hamilton 46-22 in the final poll. Hamilton had offered the nations about $70,000 each," it said.

'Mistake' to let India host Games

Australia's Olympic Committee president has said the Commonwealth Games should not have been awarded to Delhi.

John Coates said the Commonwealth Games Federation lacked the resources to monitor progress and to ensure that construction deadlines were met.

England have become the first overseas team to reach Delhi, but other nations have delayed their arrivals.

A New Zealand cyclist is the ninth athlete to pull out because of health and safety fears.
Greg Henderson, who has won four medals at previous Games, cancelled on Friday, citing concerns over the state of facilities - a day after four British cyclists withdrew from the 3-14 October competition.

On Thursday, the BBC obtained pictures showing flooding, leaking toilets, dirty bathrooms, incomplete apartments and paw prints on beds in the athletes' village.
"The problem is the Commonwealth Games Federation is under-resourced. It doesn't have the ability to monitor the progress of cities in the way the [International] Olympic Committee does."

He has to say that to save his own behind ...it not just these photos , it is also all the other negitive attention the slums are getting , a few roof tiles feel down in the weight lifting arena , do you know how dangerous that couldve been ... What about all the security concerns, all the bombs and killings by the naxals and maoists ??

We should give credit to pakistanis for accepting their mistakes, but the indians are completely oblivious to the truth. I was watching a documentary on dateline, where this poor slum dweller sarcasticly said " Come come look at india , this is india pointing to the slums and the ground, this is mahan india " he said, this was a documentary on CWG. I think the 15 billion shouldve been spent on the slums for clean water and sanitation , we are bitching about a 21 million rs monument of benazir when our nation is suffering and all the indians seem to care about is their image and pride, and in the comments section not one indian admitted their mistreatment of the poor instead they started trying to insult the interviewer and the producer of the documentary.. People is what matter , not some stuid games.

Delhi's management of CW games worth more attention

A damaging drip-feed of Indian incompetence
Mihir Bose, Evening Standard, London, 23.09.10

The Delhi Commonwealth Games will probably go on. The Indians have too much pride at stake and the Commonwealth Games Federation does not have the courage or the ability to stop them at this late stage.

A better leadership, particularly from the Indians, should have prevented this catastrophe. The preparations for the Games have always been fraught but the hope was that the Indians would catch up. When they failed, the organisers should have realised that cancellation would have been preferable to this damaging drip-feed of Indian incompetence.
But the Indians have been so obtuse that, responding to criticisms that the athletes' village was not up to human habitation, one of them commented that cleanliness standards in India were different from the rest of the world.

We are back to India of the Sixties, then a country of shortages, where nothing worked and whose lavatory facilities were heavily criticised in VS Naipaul's devastating book, An Area of Darkness. The Commonwealth Games are showing that, in some ways, India has not moved on. In many areas, it still finds it impossible to meet world standards.
The Games might go on but nobody will now believe talk of the shiny new India that was meant to be showcased by the Games.

James Lamont's comment may also be seen for why he thinks that Anxious India awaits its lap of dishonour as the title of his artilce in The Financial Times, published on September 22 2010 suggests. cachef.ft.com/cms/s/0/eb900360-c67d-11df-8a9f-00144feab49a.html

Watching Human defecation floating on the washbasin of athletes' village washwoom made me puke. Part of the stadium collapse showed their incompetence and exposed the India as the world's biggest banana republic the US and other nations are trying to sell the whole world as a global power with record poverty and institutionalized corruption. Even Indians in a poll expressed they were'nt capable of organising anything including such games, the whole western sports media is in flames for letting these crooks host such a huge event and the Indian media known not to have the courage to introspect are scapegoating the govt. and this Kalmadi their head of Olympic assn. although it is evident that who ever would have been involved would have done the same piss poor job:

97% say Games bosses have tarnished India's image: Poll

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...ge-Poll/articleshow/6609804.cms#ixzz10Ser6jtt

Those responsible for the Commonwealth Games mess often blame the media for "overhyping" the situation, and argue that it does not truly reflect public sentiment. So we decided to ask our readers themselves what they thought. We did a quick online poll on Wednesday afternoon. And frankly, the sheer volume of the responses and the depth of the public outrage against the miscarriage of responsibility by the Organizing Committee and government officials surpassed our assessment.

Within hours of the poll questionnaire being put on the TOI website on Wednesday, more than 20,000 people had voted - a huge response, even by the numbers online polls attract. (Commissioned surveys typically poll a few hundred.) And we hadn't made a prior announcement of the poll in the newspaper or on the website.

By Thursday evening, the number of votes had crossed 31,000, but the trend remained the same. An overwhelming 97% of the respondents believed that the Union and Delhi governments and the Games organizing committee (OC) had tarnished the image of the country.

Even if you disregard OC chairman Suresh Kalmadi's boast that the Games would be the best ever and have better infrastructure than the Beijing Olympics, you still hear many in the government and the OC claiming that "minor" incidents like a bridge collapse or a ceiling crash won't affect the Games. But the public certainly does not think so. As many as 71% of the respondents felt that the situation was so grave it could no longer be salvaged.

We asked the readers who was the most responsible for the mess: Suresh Kalmadi, Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit, Union urban development minister Jaipal Reddy or sports minister M S Gill? We chose these names because, apart from the OC, various central and Delhi government agencies are involved in building the infrastructure for the Games.

Kalmadi may not be the person to blame for everything that has gone wrong with India's preparation to host the Games, but public anger against him runs so deep that 74% of the respondents felt that he was the one responsible for the mess. In fact, the anger against him has gone viral - he has become the protagonist of many SMS jokes, some of them unprintable. In response to our question who was the most responsible, 18% blamed Sheila Dikshit, 5% pointed the finger at MS Gill and 3% at Jaipal Reddy.

Our poll also posed a basic question: Does it make sense for India to have the Games? No, said 59% of the respondents. This, in fact, was the mildest expression of anger by the readers.

The country has so far spent more than Rs 77,000 crore on preparations for hosting the Games, the costliest ever. Wouldn't this money have been better spent on education, health and basic sports infrastructure? You said it! As many as 79% of the respondents said yes.

Sorry boss, if we talked about India in this fashion, what do you expect from them.
Now we should also be pleased that CW games have come to a third world country and in future we can also expect to host these games. If we did leg pulling and in a strange way we will be helping the "goras" and you know they consider both India and Pakistan as "kerray makorray". So in times like this we should be on the same side.

India shining,a new super power, common wealth games and kashmir.

Australia's Olympic Committee president has said the Commonwealth Games should not have been awarded to Delhi.

John Coates also said the Commonwealth Games Federation lacked the resources to monitor progress and to ensure that construction deadlines were met.

England have become the first overseas team to reach Delhi, but other nations have delayed their arrivals.

A New Zealand cyclist became the first member of his nation's team to pull out because of health and safety fears.

Greg Henderson, who has won four medals at previous Games cited concerns over the state of facilities - a day after four British cyclists withdrew from the 3-14 October competition.

On Thursday, the BBC obtained pictures showing flooding, leaking toilets, dirty bathrooms, incomplete apartments and paw prints on beds in the athletes' village.

Delhi Games organisers have drafted in staff from the city's five-star hotels to help the last-minute scramble to get the accommodation ready.

The build-up to the event has been marred by construction delays, corruption scandals, a dengue fever outbreak, the collapse of a footbridge near the main stadium and security fears after Sunday's shooting of two tourists outside Delhi's Jama Masjid mosque.

"The Games shouldn't have been awarded to Delhi in hindsight," Mr Coates told Australian radio.

"The problem is the Commonwealth Games Federation is under-resourced. It doesn't have the ability to monitor the progress of cities in the way the [International] Olympic Committee does."

Nevertheless, Australian Commonwealth Games officials said that having visited the athletes' village on Friday, their team were "quite happy" with the accommodation and would move in on Monday.

The first English athletes - the men's hockey and the bowls teams - arrived in Delhi on Friday, although they plan to stay in hotels until Monday, when the village should be ready.

New Zealand announced on Friday it would send its team to compete in Delhi, although it would continue to review the situation daily.

Scotland said its team would fly to Delhi on Saturday. The Welsh team is on its way, too, and Canadian officials were hopeful the first of their athletes could arrive on Sunday.

Kenya has said it will send its team to the Games, after receiving security assurances from India.

Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell said in a statement that "considerable improvements" had been made to the athletes' village.

But he added: "It is vital that all remedial work that has already started continues with the greatest urgency."

The first athletes, from India's team, have just moved into the accommodation.

Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has taken control of the crisis.

He held talks on Thursday night with his sports minister and Delhi officials.

Games organising committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi, whose team has been mired in corruption allegations, was not invited.

Other athletes who have pulled out because of health and safety fears include Australian world discus champion Dani Samuels and English world triple jump champion Phillips Idowu.

Ticket sales have been low, and the cost of hosting the largest sporting event in India's history has soared.

It has become most expensive Commonwealth Games so far, with estimates ranging up to more than $10bn (6.3bn).

Delhi has had seven years to prepare, though very little work was done until 2008.

1. Athletes' village - Indian media report only 18 of 34 towers are completed
2. Yamuna River - flooded in worst monsoon rain for 30 years, leaving pools attracting mosquitoes
3. Nehru Stadium - part of false ceiling collapsed in weightlifting area
4. Bridge leading to the Nehru Stadium - collapsed on Tuesday
5.Jama Masjid Mosque - two tourists injured in shooting near mosque, Indian Mujahideen threatens more attacks
6. Shivaji Stadium - no longer to be used as a venue because it was not going to be ready in time
7. Yamuna Sports Complex - roof damaged by heavy rain in July
