RIO DE JANEIRO: Miffed with Indian sports minister Vijay Goel 's entourage, Rio Olympic organisers have threatened to cancel his accreditation if unaccredited people accompanying him do not end their "aggressive and rude" behaviour. Despite previous warnings, it would seem that even today the same incident occurred at the Rio Olympic Arena (Gymnastics venue) and Carioca Arena 3," she added.Peterson said the minister's accreditation could be cancelled because of this. "We have had multiple reports of your minister for sports trying to enter accredited areas at venues with unaccredited individuals. "Should our protocol team be made aware of further examples of this type of behaviour, the accreditation of your Minister for Sports will be cancelled and his privileges at the Olympic Games withdrawn. We trust you will pass on this message urgently," she said.
