The union ministry of sports on Friday de-recognised the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation (IABF) and the Archery Association of India (AAI) for manipulation in their election process. Justifying the decision, sports minister Jitendra Singh said AAI violated the Sports Code of India while the election process of the boxing body was faulty.
