India's suspended Olympic body has elected the head of world squash as its president, raising hopes of the country's return to the Olympic fold after a 14-month absence.
N. Ramachandran, whose elder brother N. Srinivasan was elected at the weekend to lead the International Cricket Council, was elected unopposed as president of the Indian Olympic Association.
The International Olympic Committee froze India's membership in December 2012 and suspended it from the Games movement when the IOA elected a number of tainted officials to key posts.
Representatives from the IOC were present at yesterday's elections, but it's unclear when India's ban will be lifted.
