New Delhi : Commonwealth Games Federation president Mike Fennell, who raised concerns about India’s preparedness for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, was found napping during a presentation made by the Organising Committee (OC) at the Thyagaraj Stadium here Thursday.
During the presentation, Fennell and some delegates were caught on camera dozing off much to the disappointment of the Indian officials.
Fennell has raised questions on the OC’s ability to host the 2010 Commonwealth Games and even asked for Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s intervention. Fennell is expected to meet the Prime Minister here Friday.
With some 110 delegates from 71 Commonwealth countries for federation’s General Assembly slated for Oct 12, Fennell went around the city visiting all the venues and the Games Village. And by the time his convoy of three buses and eight cars came to Thyagaraj Stadium, it seemed that the trip had taken a toll on him.
