more-inThe Badminton Association of India (BAI), on Friday, made it clear that it will stick to the National Sports Code, which has been adopted in its constitution. “Yes there were discussions on how to modify the constitution to incorporate the suggestions made in the National Sports Code but there was no mention of the Lodha Committee. We have already adopted National Sports Code in our constitution and we want to adhere to that,” said Sharma. Sharma refuted claims that a lobby was trying to unsettle national coach Pullela Gopi Chand. He is one of the most respected sports persons of the country and it already has been announced that he would continue as national coach.”
