Sushil Kumar, India’s only double Olympic medalist has said that Indian wrestlers, including himself, will have no option but to quit the sport if International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) suspension of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) stands.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended the IOA yesterday for its failure to hold independent elections. The IOC Ethics Committee’s recommendation that tainted officials should not be elected to the IOA, was also ignored by the Indian body. However, a formal announcement will be made by the IOC at the end of their Executive Board meeting underway in Switzerland, it was reported yesterday.
