SPORT-CWG 2

The OC had sought Hooper's transfer out of Delhi calling
him "useless" and "impediment" in the smooth functioning of
the Organising committee.

Hooper and Kalmadi were engaged in a public spade barely
a few days after the CGF's General Assembly in Delhi.
However, the CGF's proposal to form an independent review
panel to oversee the preparations of the Games has been put on
hold for the time being, according to the OC sources.
A decision on whether to go ahead with the panel would be
taken only after the Coordination Commission's visit to Delhi
from December 14.
"We also met with office-bearers of the Indian Olympic
Association present in London and the Minister of Sport and
Youth Affairs, Hon'ble Dr M S Gill and informed them of our
understanding and all agreed that we must now move forward
with the sole objective of guaranteeing the successful
celebration of the 2010 Games in Delhi," the statement said.
"The next step will be the visit of the CGF Co-ordination
Commission commencing December 14 and they will evaluate the
progress to date and the achievement of the targets promised
by the Organising Committee. The results of this review will
be further considered and appropriate action agreed by all
parties.
"It was also agreed that no further comment would be made
by the parties concerned," it added. MORE PTI MRM
