SPORT FENNELL 2LST

"Given it is 27 years since India hosted an international
multi-sport event, why is there such a reluctance to recruit
experience from overseas?" the report said.

The Commission said if CGF did not intervene, the Games
was bound to see particla failure.

"The Coordination Commission is of the view that Games'
failure in part is now likely should the CGF not intervene...
It is reasonable to further conclude that the current
situation poses a serious risk to the Commonwealth Games in
2010, the Commonwealth Games brand and the image of the CGF,"
the report had said.

Fennell, in his letter, stated that reality was the
Federation had consistently expressed serious concerns to the
Organising Committee on preparations for the Games.

"The Government of India has committed significant
resources towards the operational delivery of the Games (1,620
crores) and as I said at the meeting it would be irresponsible
and negligent of the Federation not to share its concerns
openly with the Government."

The CGF chief also said he was "extremely worried" about
the Organising Committee's capability to deliver a successful
Games, as it was promised. PTI SKI
