Why did it take them this long to come to this logical conclusion. Problem is we always bring our ego first. This should have been so straight forward. Put the teams that have played together and have better chemistry. Doubles is all about the right chemistry.
why?plz let us know why AITA has done this? Who the hell is Bhupati?That selfish will say that I will be president of India n we will make him !!!!!! Today onething I can say taht Bhupati is playing only for his own track record n on the other hand Paes,despite of phersonal problems is only playing for his motherland and I am sue he will be always.
AITA admits that this decision may not be fair in all aspects but is the best one to AITA's understanding and in the best interest of the players," added Khanna.
AITA cares about the interests of the players, no mention of whether this decision is in best interests of the country or not.
looks this decision is taken to please and may be in the best interests of the sports minister, who had been advocating for two team formula for a long time.
And when ll there be a time to take harsh steps ???? if not now when players taking the association and people of the country for a ride.
why not drop all the three and send Yuki Bhambri and Vishnu Vardhan.
dont be surprised if patriotic indians start praying that Mahesh and Bopana dont win a medal.
It's shame for AITA. They have bowed down to the threat of Bhupathi-Bopanna. Bhupathi-Bopanna are so adamant to challenge the decision of AITA. They must be dumped and suspended for their life term. They must refund USD 72000 to the Union Sports Ministry which they have taken during last one year for the preparation of London Olympics.

Paes has a lot of arrogance and ego problems. If all others say that they dont want to play with paes, then there has to be a problem with him. If we listen to the interviews of yuki bhambri and vishnu vardhan, we can make out that they too are not happy with paes. Also at the moment, after paes and bhupati, the next best team is bhupati-bopanna combination. Its crystal clear that from now on, bhupati paes combination wont work for india

Paes has the ranking and quality to play for the country, its rohand and boppanna the cry babies, they never got anything for the country. Paes has won olympic medal and a lot of davis cup victories for India.
17:57 Leander Paes says NO to Olympics: Breaking news: Leander Paes bows out of the London Olympics. His father, Dr Vece Paes, speaking to CNN IBN says Leander is very clear about his decision and is turning down the AITA's two-team formula for the Olympics. Paes had yesterday said he was not willing to be paired with the 'low-ranked' Vishnu Vardhan. Which means India will only have Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna for the Olympics, with Bhupathi partnering Sania Mirza for the mixed doubles.

He should only play with Vishnu vardan now onwards and practise Vamos with him. Doesn't matter if he plays or not. Result will be the same. Vamos.
May be Paes is ranked above Bhupathi & Rohan in individual rankings. But Hesh & Rohan are better placed as a team. In doubles the team maters. If Peas pair up with any of Brian brothers, he may be No.1 or 2 in rankings but this will serve no purpose for Team India. The real intention of Peas is to throw Mahesh out of team and play doubles with Rohan and Mixed with sania.
actually lee should pair with yuki..that will be a good combination. the youngest n oldest..will definitely work for better..atleast yuki will learn to play better from lee
