On those faltering sports federations

Why aren't Indian stars from other sports than cricket getting what they deserve? Ajai Masand writes about one such bright star from shooting, telling HT how he was let down by his promoters.

When quizzed that he had a couple of offers from some sports management companies after his Melbourne Commonwealth Games performances, he only said: "They promised the moon but gave nothing. In fact they exploited me. It is pertinent to note here that while small sports management companies want to bask in the success of the athletes, more often than not, they dump them after their purpose is met.">
