IOA Drops Chinese Sports Brand Li-Ning As Its Official Kit Sponsor

Amid the criticism to boycott Chinese products, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) has decided to drop Chinese brand Li-Ning as its official kit sponsor for the Olympics. Reportedly, the Indian athletes will wear unbranded apparel during the Tokyo Games. The move came after the sports ministry discouraged the use of Chinese brands. "We are in discussions with a couple of brands. Let's see how things pan out," the IOA stated.
