his edition's Photo of the
Month is the third in our series of photographs dedicated to India's 1998 Asiad gold medal
winning team. This one focuses on Ashish Ballal, who endeared himself to all by saving two
penalty strokes in the final.
Quotable Quote : "The IHF is run by a drunkard and a clerk."
Yellow Card : Ashish Ballal will most probably not play in the Sydney 2000 games.
Red Card : Ashish Ballal was dropped for the 1996 Atlanta Olymics, despite being the best goalkeeper in the country.
Moral of the Story : Long live IHF bureaucracy!
