Head of Delhi 2010 calls for Commonwealth chief to resign

Commonwealth Games chief executive, Mike Hooper, has rejected suggestions from the organisers of the 2010 event in Delhi that he has hindered their work.



Suresh Kalmadi, the head of Delhi 2010 committee, has called for Hooper to be replaced.



He says Hooper had been no use to them.



Last month, Federation president Mike Fennell of Jamaica warned that construction delays posed a serious threat to the Games.



New Zealander Hooper has spent the last two years in Delhi as the main link between the host city and the Federation, but concerns have grown that facilities in Delhi will not be ready for October next year.
