New Delhi, July 31 -- The BCCI 's Working Committee formally rejected the request for financial assistance to the tune of Rs. 100 crore for the Commonwealth Games. In 2007, the Board's constitution was amended to enable them "to assist financially or otherwise and to promote, encourage, advance and develop and generally assist the game of cricket or any other sport."
Kalmadi's repeated attacks on the Board, which he has called "very commercial," did not help. The negative publicity surrounding the Games, and the lack of clarity on how the money would be spent, were also factors in reaching the decision, a Board source revealed.
