Rory McIlroy?has been told true sports people rise above their concerns after the world No. 2 pulled out of this weeks Turkish Airlines Open.McIlroy has adorned posters, flyers and television commercials for the event, the first of the European Tours Final Series that will decide the outcome of the Race to Dubai, but withdrew on Sunday, describing his reasons to not play in a country which has been hit by a series of deadly bomb attacks in the past 18 months as obvious.But Ahmet Agaoglu, the president of the Turkish Golf Federation, was left surprised and confused by the four-time major champion for leaving it so late to make his decision not to travel to Carya Golf Club in Antalya.I learnt that Rory had dropped out in the media, Agaoglu told the Telegraph, before going on to praise Tiger Woods, who pulled out of the event after deciding he wasnt ready to return to competitive action.Tiger sent me an email an hour before his announcement and apologised, Agaoglu explained. He said he knew we would be disappointed but he was more disappointed than anyone.It isnt the first time McIlroy, who had been offered a £1 million appearance fee as well as the use of a private jet to fly to and from the event, has changed his plans at the eleventh hour. He also pulled out of the Olympic Games in Rio due to the threat of the Zika virus.Agaoglu added: There are things happening everywhere in the world. If they are afraid of such things there is no safe place in the world.This is one of the major golfing events in Europe and I think they have to respect the sponsors because they are investing huge money. Pulling out is not the correct approach. You can be a superstar, an excellent golfer and sit on top of the rankings but to be an athlete you need something more.Id like to thank Danny Willett and Lee Westwood and the guys who are here. Over the last few months we have seen there is a lot of difference between top golfers and top athletes with some golfers missing events because of a few mosquitoes. True sports people rise above this.Westwood himself said he was disappointed.Obviously the most high-profile withdrawal was that of Rory and he brings an awful lot to a tournament, the Englishman told reporters. Hes defending the money list and hes pretty much taken himself out of that by not playing. I guess he didnt feel the way I feel about the place and the security of it all. Oskar Sundqvist Jersey .

Nate Prosser Jersey The opening of the bids for the IPL broadcast rights has been delayed* after the Lodha Committee told BCCI president Anurag Thakur to submit a letter stating that the board will unreservedly comply with the Supreme Court order of October 21. The Committee, on Monday, said the letter would be necessary before it issues directives to the BCCI to take the tender process forward.The bids for television and digital rights were set to be opened and finalised on Tuesday in Mumbai. A senior BCCI official confirmed receipt of the committees email.Last week, the Supreme Court passed an order that limited the financial freedom of the BCCI until the board and its state associations comply with the Lodha Committees recommendations. One of the directives in the order was that the Lodha Committee would set a threshold value for various contracts the BCCI enters into, and all contracts in excess of that amount would need the Committees approval. The Committee was also asked to appoint an independent auditor to oversee contracts from the tender stage.Soon after the court passed the order on October 21, the BCCI contacted the Lodha Committee on Friday seeking clarification regarding the bidding for the IPLs rights. When there was no response, the BCCI sent another email on Saturday checking whether its first email had been received, and then another email on Monday requesting a response because the board had to communicate to the bidders for the rights. The Lodha Committee responded to the BCCI later on Monday.The Committee is in receipt of your email and letter dated 21.10.2016 which refers to the Order of the Honble Supreme Court of the same date, the Lodha Committees email to BCCI on Monday said. 1. Before the Committee proceeds to issue any directions, it would need to satisfy itself that the BCCI administration is willing to comply with the Order of the Honble Supreme Court dated 21.10.2016. As you can understand, this would be necessary in view of the BCCIs stand concerning the earlier order of 18.7.2016. In this regard, the Committee requires a letter of compliance from the President BCCI duly undertaking on behalf of the BCCI to unreservedly comply with the Order of the Honble Supreme Court dated 21.10.2016.The court had also ordered the BCCI not to distribute funds to its state associations until they submit affidavits stating compliiance with the recommendations to the court and the Lodha Committee in two weeks from October 21.dddddddddddd. In addition, Thakur and BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke were asked to submit an affidavit of compliance in the court by December 3, elaborating on the recommendations the BCCI said it had already implemented, and what it had done to persuade the state associations to adopt the recommendations.Following its email to the Lodha Committee, the BCCI also sent an email to the 18 prospective bidders on Sunday, saying it was awaiting directions from the Committee. In the note, the board informed the bidders that all the Invitation To Tender documentation related to the process had been sent to the Committee. The bidders were also told that the BCCI would update them of the future course of action based on the advice received from the committee.The Lodha Committee had questions for the BCCI in its email, regarding the end date of the current cycle of IPL rights and the start date for the next one.In your letter dated 21.10.2016, the first paragraph reads as follows: 1) The BCCI has already declared the process of a global tender for the IPL rights, where the previous ten-year rights contract ended with the end of IPL season May 2016, as it was mandated to do so by the expiring contract.The Committee has 2 specific questions in this regard: a. When did the previous ten-year rights period come to an end? b. When does the next ten-year rights period commence?The rights in the current cycle are held by Sony Pictures Network India (SPNI) and will expire after IPL 2017. In September, the BCCI had announced that the next cycle of IPL rights would be sold via an open tender process. Eighteen companies eventually bought the Invitation To Tender document for television and digital rights.In 2008, the Singapore-based World Sports Group bagged the IPL television rights for a ten-year period with a $918 million bid. It simultaneously signed a deal with Multi Screen Media Pvt. Ltd. (MSM) that Sony would be the official broadcaster. The contract was recast before IPL 2009, with MSM agreeing to pay $1.63 billion for nine years until 2017.*The story was changed after the BCCI issued a release at 1633 GMT on October 24 Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
