Tendulkar out of torch relay
23/04/2008 12:20 - (SA)
New Delhi - Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has pulled out of Thursday's Olympic torch relay in the capital for personal reasons, the head of the Indian Olympic Association told local television on Wednesday.
The decision had nothing to do with ongoing worldwide
Tibetan anti-Chinese protests, another sports official, who
asked not to be named said.
Indian soccer captain Bhaichung Bhutia had already
withdrawn from the relay in protest against China's response to
unrest in Tibet.
Massive security arrangements have been made for the relay
in India after the route was shortened in a bid to prevent
protests.
