NEW DELHI — The Athletics Federation of India was warned by the government Tuesday to hold re-elections for key posts or face suspension. The Sports Ministry, which won't recognize the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation and the Archery Association of India for not following a government sports code during their recent elections, announced in a press release the AFI's “recognition shall stand withdrawn without any further notice” if it did not amend its constitution and hold fresh polls for the posts of president, secretary and treasurer. The objections were in respect to AFI rules, which allow only previous executive members to become president or secretary as well.
