More than the lack of money/infrastructure, I feel that the complete sports scenario in India needs a revamp. I don't think countries like Ethiopia, Romania etc. have excellent training resources at hand. But they still brought in gold - something we last saw in 1980.

IOA waale saale choraan hai sirf paise khaate. i dont think sunil dutt can do much abt it. it will need some one like CBN

just needs some honest n dedicated ppl. preferably older/retired athletes coz they can understand the needs/requirements of the present ones better IMHO
