An Australian who provided services to the New Delhi Commonwealth Games last year is worried he will never be paid following the arrest of the event's chief organiser.
Authorities say Suresh Kalmadi will be charged with several conspiracy counts relating to the awarding of commercial contracts for last year's games.
They allege Mr Kalmadi conspired to award a contract to a Swiss firm and manipulated tenders and knowingly inflated costs.
(...)
Mr Howard says he believes Mr Kalmadi's arrest comes one year too late.
"He was the chairman of a committee that throughout my entire dealings with them was totally inept," he said.
"When dealing with the Commonwealth Games, one thinks that you're dealing with a professional outfit and they certainly didn't represent that." Full story...
