I wonder how shameful it is when told that others dont want to pair with him.He is acting like a spoiled brat. If Paes is so good he should tell Bhupati $ Bopanna to take a hike and represent India with Bhambari. Unfortunately paes is trying to spoil the game for Bhupati as Paes's career is over and he just cant digest Bhupati being the next top player of country.
Well its high time that AITA should listen to Bhupati & Bopanna as they have been listening to Paes for too long.
It is better that either the govt. or ministry doesn't interfere in AITA affairs.It is evident likes of Mahesh Bhupati want to just make money and not win medals for the country in the Olympics .He is spreading indiscipline among youngsters.AITA 's decision to ban Mahesh Bhupati is correct.He should be banned for life from representing India in any capacity, that is as a player , or coach or an office bearer etc. as he would play dirty politics and spread indiscipline among youngsters.
If Paes is so good then let him play with the 4th or 5th ranked Indian player and bring mens double gold medal. Why does he need only bhupathi and bopanna? Let them play as a team. What is the issue in sending 2 teams?

It seems like an Insurance which Paes is taking. He knows he cannot bring any medal so he is insisting on Bhupathi. Once they fail, he would blame bhupathi that he did not play for winning.

As if Mahesh Bhupathi and Bopanna are guaranteed to bring us a medal??? What have these two won so far in their lives? Its just Mahesh's ego that he refuses to partner Paes. Let Mahesh-Bopanna do a fraction of what Paes has done for Indian tennis.

Now that they are sending 2 teams - The spoilt brats (Hesh-anna) team and The religious hard workers team - The real pic will soon be clear.
It's true that Bhupathi and Bopanna played together with an eye on Olympics, but the fact is that they have won 18 and lost 11 matches in 2012. This means that they lose in 3rd round on average. Such a team cannot bring Olympic glory to India. That said, it was wrong on Leander's part to change partners without informing Bhupathi. But i the interest of India, Bhupathi must take a step back. He and Bopanna have not been very impressive.

but we cant pair lee-bopanna becasue they are not playing together..may lee and som may be tried..or yuki bambri
Why u r so jelouse with Leander ? Leander always do great in Devis Cup and in Olumpic for the country ,Thats why we love him so much . And U never do anything for us Not even in Asian level .. So please dont cry..poor bhupati..
What Bhupathi think himself..!! just winning some double games does not means he is a Great players of Teninss... In Teniss not BID players played in Double..!! If Bhupati hav guts then won a single tournament..or we can say at least reached at semi level .. Then He came to know that "Where He is stand " !! a sub-standerd player always barking for his own. He is Jelous of Leander . Leander always play for INDIA . Bhupati only play for himself just like NOW !!

what is your qualification to criticize.hesh...He can atleast bring laurels to the conuntry by playing doubles / mixed doubles..he is not at all jealous of lee, but lee is an upstart who believes he is next/previous fed..

Let Mahesh first do a fraction of what Paes has done for Indian tennis. Or, have you forgotten his selfless performances in Davis Cups matches? May be you are just blind.

Slaves number around 2 billion. It's not the number of countries, but the number of ppl who drive it. it's the most watched team game after football.
