The cunning approach

View(s):

There is trouble brewing at a major sports body and to sort things over, an official from the body had approached a senior official with the hope that he would attend a crucial meeting scheduled to be held the other day to sort things over. This lackey, in the hope of winning the official’s favour had approached with a load of intoxicants and had spent the better part of the night sipping the stuff. This official too had wholeheartedly joined in the impromptu party and had enjoyed himself to the hilt. Come the meeting there was no sign of the official who had enjoyed the get-together. It looks as if this official is more cunning than those who were trying to lure them!

Cash that vanished

There was a big loss at a women’s sports body when the lady in question had gone to the bank and withdrawn Rs. 200,000 and had left it on the table. In a hurry to attend to some other matter the lady had left the money lying on the table. She got the shock of her life when she came back to see that the money had vanished and not a trace of it has been found since then. This has happened in a sports body where the chief security officer is an officer in an anti-corruption unit. Whatever said and done the money is still missing.

Only for namesake

The chief of a sports body has been heard saying that when he served in the forces he had commanded over 200,000 people but in this particular sports body he cannot control 60 officials. However, two officials who had been his juniors whilst serving in the forces, had excellent control over the 60. It looks as if his credentials are only for namesake.

A job done not too well

A very pushy official, who plays the role of a Player’s Agent, has managed to get nine of his favourites to a popular outstation team. He is now trying to get another player into the same team. But the player, who is in great demand, is not keen to be a member of this team. Nevertheless the Agent feels that he had done a good job and deserves a pat on the back for a job well done.

Brotherly love

The selection committee of a leading sports body consisting of five members has two former Olympians and three who have represented the sport at national level. However the head of this sports body has no sports qualifications to say the least. But all is not lost. A brother of the head of this body, who happens to be a member of this committee is however, willing to come forward and swear that his dear brother has contested at the village level and deserves this post. What brotherly love can do!

The haunting issue

A politician as well as the head of a sports body has set his cap to be the next head of a leading sports association which commands a whole lot of sports. He had tried to be the head of this sports body earlier and had been snubbed by others. But his determination to be the head of this body is so great that those in the know say that the issue is simply haunting him.
