I would like to thank the Commonwealth Games Federation for the very fair manner in which this matter has been dealt with.

Before we dealt with things in an ad hoc manner and now we have measures in place for the betterment of all concerned.We stand ready to support the board and new captain Brian Lara, and we will be looking to move the game forward with all our best efforts.

At the Commonwealth Games there were many promising performances and some notable steps forward by a number of young athletes.

If I am treated fairly, I like to do things in a fair manner. That is the way I have been all my career. I haven't tried to do things in an underhanded way.

We have been dealt a very weak hand by the financial market meltdown, bailouts, and recession. We can't act like it's a strong one.
