ISLAMABAD (TheSportsNext) August 9, 2012: Following
a dismal performance of Pakistani athletes at the London2012 Olympic Games, the
Pakistan Olympic Association (POA) is likely to face grilling by officials of
the government and Pakistan Sports Board (PSB).
According to a report published in Nai Baat newspaper on
Thursday, the Pakistan Sports Board has decided to implement the Pakistan
Sports Policy on the all the sports federations in the light of Supreme Court
of Pakistan’s directives.
The Pakistan Olympic Association has already been told that
the International Olympic Committee has no issues with implementation of
Pakistan Sports Policy in a bid to uplift the standard of sports in the
country.
The newspaper quoted its sources as saying that during the
IOC meeting held in Lucerne city of Switzerland, the IOC termed implementation
of Pakistan Sports Policy as the country’s internal matter and ordered Pakistan
to put its house in order before September 5, 2012.
It is important to mention here that none of Pakistani
athletes managed to grab even a single medal during the course of the
London2012 Olympic Games.
