Other instructions of the world body

The world body has also instructed the federation to update its Constitution to clarify an athlete's membership, develop a strategic plan and resolve other governance issues with a progress report required every three months.

AAI was suspended on August 5 last year with Indian athletes only allowed to compete under a neutral flag at events that directly affected their qualification chances for the Olympics.
