IOA doesn’t pay heed to our advice, says Mary Kom

Boxing great MC Mary Kom, who is also the chairperson of IOA’s athletes’ commission, says she has stopped giving suggestions to the National Olympic Committee as it doesn’t pay attention to them.

Mary Kom was among 10 elite sportspersons who were elected on the IOA athletes’ commission back in November 2022.

The IOA is currently witnessing intense infighting with a section of the office-bearers questioning the governance of president PT Usha, who has denied all allegations against her.

“I am not into the IOA functioning. We shared so many things with IOA but they don’t listen to it. I have a voice but they don’t listen to what I suggest. I don’t know politics and I don’t want to blame anyone,” Mary Kom said.
