印度的奥运男双提名，成为Bhupathi/Bopanna两人与印度网协(AITA)之间的角力。 Bhupathi/Bopanna以今年的长期搭配，希望以同样组合参加奥运； 但AITA坚持要以Paes/Bhupathi的方式提名，而Bhupathi坚决反对。 文章提及两人去年底结束合作的经过：Paes先决定结束合作，後来Bhupathi才晓得是 Paes先和Stepanek谈了合作後才不续搭，这让Bhupathi相当恼火，两人因此决裂。 Bhupathi希望体育部能出面调解，但他们显然不愿意插手管这件事情。 AITA也说，如果Bhupathi和Bopanna都不想和Paes合作，他们也会找别人搭档， 并强硬指出，如果两人不妥协，会寻求法规来对付。 究竟最後AITA会以提名什麽组合，且待周四截止日分晓。 Indian gov't won't intercede in Olympic dispute The Indian government will not intervene in the dispute between doubles players Mahesh Bhupathi and Rohan Bopanna, and the All India Tennis Association (AITA). Bhupathi and Bopanna want to play together at the London Olympics, but AITA has picked Bhupathi to play with his former partner Leander Paes, a request that Bhupathi has refused. Bhupathi is furious with Paes after his former partner decided to stop playing with him at the end of 2011, and did not tell him that he had already picked a new partner, Radek Stepanek. Indian Sports minster Ajay Maken had said that he wondered why AITA could not send two teams to the Olympics, pairing Paes with Yuki Bhambri or Vishnu Vardhan. The Indian press reported that AITA responded by saying that because Paes is India's top ranked doubles player, he should not be asked to compete with a lesser player whom he would have little chance to win a medal with. Bhupathi has asked Maken to intervene, but the minister later said that he would not, and would leave it up to AITA to make the call. "The sports ministry doesn't wish to be a part of the selection process. It had raised with AITA certain issues which had been brought to its notice by certain eminent and iconic players," Maken said. "In the meeting held in the ministry today with AITA officials, certain options were suggested by AITA in the prevailing circumstance. The sports ministry advised the AITA to exercise the option which is in the best of national interest." AITA said that if Bhupathi continues to refuse to play with Paes, they will ask Bopanna to play with him. If Bopanna also refuses, than Paes would pair up with either Bhambri or Vardhan. AITA says that if Bhupathi and Bopanna do not compromise, they may seek disciplinary action against them. --
