Mike Hooper, CEO of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), has spoken out against the comptroller and auditor general's interim report which was brought to his notice, reports Hindustan Times.

The report states that the appointment of Fast Track sales as consultant for the broadcasting rights for the games was made solely on the recommendation of the CGF and Suresh Kalmadi, the chairman of the Delhi Organising Committee.

Hooper said, "Although the CGF supported the appointment of Fast Track, it strongly refutes any claims that it interfered in the selection process”.
