"The 2030 Commonwealth Games will be held in India, and the country is making strong efforts to host the 2036 Olympics, with the aim of giving more and more players greater opportunities to compete,"
"Pollution is not an issue since Ahmedabad not Delhi is bidding, and athletes can train elsewhere,"
"Ultimately, none of these concerns pollution, doping, or medals will determine the outcome. What matters most is money and influence in the bidding process,"
India intends to host the 2036 Olympics and will host the 2030 Commonwealth Games. Ahmedabad and neighboring Gandhinagar are proposed as the Olympic sites with cost estimates between $4.1 billion and $7.5 billion. The International Olympic Committee identified three major concerns during discussions: governance weaknesses in the national Olympic association, widespread doping violations, and weak past Olympic performances. A final IOC decision is not expected before late 2027. Sports administrators and athletes remain divided on readiness, while some experts argue pollution is not a problem for Ahmedabad, higher testing inflates doping counts, and bids often hinge on money and influence.
