League Notes: Int'l Amateur Boxing Association Clears Ad-Hoc Indian Body

India's boxing contingent will be "able to participate in the Commonwealth Games and Asian Games despite the absence of a national federation." The Int'l Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA) accepted the Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) "proposal of appointing an ad-hoc body to run the sport till a new national federation is affiliated" (MUMBAI MIRROR, 4/4). ... The "interest group for South Korean professional baseball players on Friday denied an accusation that it'd asked its members to honor unwritten codes in the sport." The Korea Professional Baseball Players Association "rejected an earlier report that claimed the association told its members not to steal bases when their team was up by at least six runs" in the sixth inning or later (YONHAP, 4/4). ... A bill passing its way through the British Parliamentary system "will increase transparency in football club ownership and remove the protection so-called 'football creditors' have when clubs fall into financial difficulty." Under the Football Governance (No. 2) Bill, professional and semi-professional football clubs in England and Wales "would be required to disclose the identity of their owners" (INSIDE WORLD FOOTBALL, 4/4).
