Did you know this.......India bribed all the countries to become the CWG host....I mean one after other the beans are spilling out of the can, this is one controversy ridden commonwealth games.

India bribed 72 Commonwealth countries $100,000 each to get the hosting rights for the scandal-hit 19th edition of the Games which will start in Delhi from October 3-14, a media report claimed here on Thursday.

A report in the Daily Telegraph claimed that Delhi pipped Hamilton in the bid after offering huge sums of money to the 72 Commonwealth countries during the final presentation in Jamaica.
India bribed 72 nations to get Delhi CWG

The report also said that Australia received a kickback of $125,000 from India.

"Delhi sealed the right to host the Games when their delegates emerged at the final presentation in Jamaica and offered all 72 nations $100,000 (then about $140,000) each for athlete training schemes if they were the successful bidders," the newspaper reported.

"The money, subsequently paid to all nations, was not significant to Australia because it had already decided to vote for India and the payment was not an exceptionally large one."But for small nations who have minimal interest in the Games, it clinched their vote and India went on to beat Canadian city Hamilton 46-22 in the final poll. Hamilton had offered the nations about $70,000 each," it said

I think they bribed so much of money in the first place to steal even more from Indian government, shame on Indian government, that no action is still being taken against these people who have damaged India's name like this...this is totally unacceptable guys......

I hope it is not true and one shouldnt take the western media's word on this. The western media is always biased especially when it comes to india because of its impressivbe march. If they have the proof, why dont they place it before the IOC and expose us to the world.

If true.
Taxpayers must stand up and raise their voice.
Else wait for hell to emerge for future generations.

Maybe it is true. Instead of calling it a bribe we could call it as "Money paid for Supporting the Bid". One never knows but it MAY BE an official payment too. Purely business deal when thousands of tourists would have visited bringing millions of dollars. The Atalanta Olympics earned the City around 6 billion.  

But you are right that the officials paid so that they can loot from us Indians.

When there was a debate topic on Corruption - Possible / Impossible, I wrote:-
"May the World community reduce / stop it, it may be a lesson to us to learn & practice. Till then.... India's corruption is not a single variable that can be thought off , to be isolated. But, it is a complex variable, it will only give you an imaginary solution that You & I can not see, but only, can be  perceived as solution.Mean to say it will continue."
When it is a matter of between 70K & 100K, to switch the avenue from Hamilton to Delhi, Mr. Kamlesh being a Sec Gen, offering this incentive for training to other members might not have seen as a big drawback.

Yes this is a fact according to News Paper. Lets see what kind of exemplary punishment will be meted out to such traitor of Nation. Yes now probably we know why there is a large scale theft of funds has taken place in creating the infrastructure for CWG with Suresh Kalamadi heading everything right from corruption. India has become a laughing stock all over the world.
