    What's the story

    Lalit Bhanot, the former Secretary General of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has been elected as the Vice President of the Asian Athletics Association (AAA).

    Bhanot was recommended by the Athletics Federation of India and was elected easily.

    His involvement in the Commonwealth Games scam and subsequent jail term rendered him ineligible to contest in the IOA elections last year.

    Lalit Bhanot summoned for investigation

    Commonwealth Games Organising Committee official, Lalit Bhanot had been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).

    The ED was investigating the likely violations made to the foreign exchange laws by the members of the Organising Committee in October 2009.

    Suresh Kalmadi who chaired the Organising Committee, was also to be interrogated.

    Kalmadi, Bhanot sacked from CWG Organising Committee

    The top officials of the CWG Organising Committee, Suresh Kalmadi and Lalit Bhanot were sacked by the Sports minister, Ajay Maken.

    Both Kalmadi and Bhanot had been charged with allegations of corruption and irregularities in the organisation and conduct of Commonwealth Games.

    Both of them were to remain in Tihar Jail till March 15.

    Bhanot back to IOA after jail term

    After serving almost a year in jail, Lalit Bhanot went back to his earlier position as General sSecretary in the Indian Olympic Association (IOA).

    Bhanot went on to support the Abhey Chautala camp who was set to be the IOA President.

    This Bhanot-Chautala takeover on IOA was apparently backed by Suresh Kalmadi's blessings.

    He was among the 14 contestants who will compete for the five posts of the Vice Presidents.

    Lalit Bhanot and his famous comical comment

    Bhanot misunderstood the question when a foreign reporter asked him about the racial profiling of Indians as "monkeys". His reply was, "There are monkeys in that area and we are trying to get them out, which are present almost everywhere in Delhi."
