Ranjan Tuglak, the youngest cabinet minister of the newly elected coalition, glanced through the notes prepared by his secretary regarding the recent controversies on racket, the popular game of the country. While International Racket Association (IRC) has agreed to implement Drug Testing Code (DTC) promoted by World Athletic and Games Federation, Racket Club which controls the entire racket related activities (unlike any other sports and games of the country) had some reservations regarding the initiative. Majority of the citizens waited for the international competitions eagerly and were fanatical about their country's participation in them. As a result of the popularity of the game, 70% of the total revenue associated with the game originates from the country. Hence Racket Club's high bargaining power with IRC can change any decision that is not aligned with its interests. The three most popular and senior players, including the captain, are against the application of DTC citing security reasons. A decision against the interests of these players may result in law and order problems throughout the country. Other players support the decision of their senior colleagues and if the Racket Club refuses to agree, players may support Counter Racket Club, a new national level initiative. Counter Racket Club may threaten the monopoly of Racket Club, if it succeeds to attract some popular racket players. Ranjan's father had been forced to resign from politics due to alleged corruption charges. Ranjan had completed his entire education abroad before returning to join politics. He is a great soccer player and has major reservations against racket. According to him, racket has a negative influence on the country's youth and diverts their attention from productive work. He also considers drug testing as an essential feature for any sports and games across the world. As the new cabinet minister for Youth and Sports he needs to take some important decisions on this controversial issue.
26. If the objective of Ranjan is to (i) create a good image of himself as a politician and (ii) create a long lasting positive impact, the best decision he should take is:
A. Force Racket Club to accept all modifications related to drug testing.
B. Provide adequate security protection to the satisfaction of players nominated by Racket Club before enforcing drug testing.
C. Align with Counter Racket Club.
D. Popularise soccer in country through endorsements by the popular players of racket. E. Ban racket.
27. Identify the best rationale that may force Ranjan as a politician to take decision in favour of IRC.
A. President of Racket Club and Ranjan belong to different political coalitions and he can use Counter Racket Club against the opponent.
B. Next World cup is scheduled to be held in a country which has adopted DTC as the guiding principle.
C. Ranjan is interested in reducing the popularity of racket in country
D. As the cabinet minister, Ranjan has the power to take such a decision.
E. Top three international teams (and respective national clubs) are keen to implement DTC.
28. According to DTC, each athlete/sportsperson needs to submit a schedule for three months (in advance) that specifies an hour each day when they can be randomly tested for drugs. DTC also assured the confidentiality of the submitted schedule by (i) limiting the access of player-supplied information to two senior officers, (ii) these officers will have the internet based access only to the schedule of those sports persons who are randomly selected for testing (and not of everyone) and (iii) introducing similar security features for DTC database as in case of financial institutions. The top three popular players realize that no reason other than security can help them to get a favourable decision from Ranjan. Hence during discussions they should focus on all options except:
A. Any clue related to their private schedules may also result in huge public gathering and it will make the job of security agencies very difficult.
B. Popular racket players are included in the hit list of terrorist organisations.
C. Recent report by World Bank rate their country among the top five nations with maximum amount of internet based data stealing.
D. It is difficult to provide adequate security coverage in large stadiums where racket is played
E. DTC is not willing to share the details of two senior officers involved in drug testing with the security agencies of the country for background study.
