Jayasekara suspended the Assn.’s registration and appointed an interim committee after the Assn. held its election of office bearers on March 24 without submitting its audit reports in breach of the sports act. Thereafter, a fresh election was held under the supervision of the director general of the sports development department. Following that, the IBA imposed the ban.
Jayasekara explained to IBA officials about the sports law of the country and noted no sports association could act against the same. The IBA advised that the interim committee be amended as the management committee. Members for this committee will be Nishantha Jayasinghe, Rohan de Silva, Clarence Homer, Mangala Gamage and the director general of the sports development department.
However, Sri Lanka was likely to lose the opportunity to take part in the Commonwealth Games badminton events and also the local body’s participation in the National Olympic Committee election, due to the IBA ban.
