in the fight between LP & MB, bechara Bopanna muft mein mara gaya. LP & MB both are great players and who had hurt whose ego, nobody knows really, only these two know exact position. the politics of banning two players is also not clear. if they had won a medal, nobody would have the balls to ban the two. anyway, it's like the story of two monkeys fighting over a piece of bread and a cat getting benefit of the two. but in this case, do billion ki ladai mein bechara bandar mara gaya!!!!!!
The Dictator rules are not only in Tennis. But in all sports including cricket. Remember one Suresh Kalmadi running IOA. The Same culture is everywhere. So many young people have wasted their talents due to the arbitrary policies of Dictatorial boards,

Doubles is not magical sports, where you put 3 and 3 and get six. You need good rapport and instinctively know what the other partner is going to do. This takes some years to develop. If two people are not even talking, how can there be Rapport. That is why we need Sportspeople at the top of sports bodies, who will understand these nuances.
some gre8 chappal also in the tennis who wanted to divide ind's dominance in tennis doubles monopoly in the team of leander bhupati. some gr8 chappal of indian tennis didnt like this n spoilt ind's chances of double power whether in davis cup or in grand slam or in olympic.
Its sad for an illustrous tennis player like MB. However, he should realise that he had placed is EGO above NATIONAL PRIDE during the run up to the Olympics. We Indians cannot forget his statements at that time.Sorry for Bopanna too - being a party to it. CUDOS to AITA for taking such a bold step - although late.
With the lofty claims they had saying that Bhupathi didnt win medal because of Paes, Now what they want to talk. Its better they realize that this decision is becoz of their dictatorialship.
