BERLIN — Elections for the presidency of the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) later this month must be fair and transparent to allow the world's second most populous nation to tap its sports potential, the IOC said Thursday. The run-up to the IOA vote has been mired in controversy with president Suresh Kalmadi bowing to pressure in October and not seeking re-election. “Top priority for the IOC is integrity,” IOC Vice President Thomas Bach told Reuters when asked about the Nov. 25 vote. The frontrunners for the job are Indian Amateur Boxing Federation's Abhay Chautala and IOA sec.-gen. Randhir Singh. — Reuters
