The decision to strip Belarus of host status for this May’s Men s World Ice Hockey Championship comes almost 50 years to the day after the first Hockey World Cup on grass was postponed because of fears that the competition would take place in an atmosphere of violence .
It was to have taken place in Lahore, but postponement came little more than a fortnight before it was due to begin. It was eventually held in October 1971 and staged 8,400 kilometres away in Barcelona.
The World Cup idea had come from India and Pakistan, then the two dominant nations in international hockey. Between them, they had won every Olympic tournament since 1928.

A look at the political legacy of former prime minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali
When Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, the then prime minister, visited Jacobabad in 1976, he asked Mir Murad Khan Jamali to join his party. The latter refused. Instead, he introduced a 32-year-old cousin of his to Bhutto. Nobody could have predicted then that this young man would become a prime minister. It was Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali
aka Jabal (mountain) who became prime minister 26 years later, the first politician from the province to hold the office.
Jamali was born in 1944. When he passed away on December 2 at the age of around 77, he had been in politics for 44 years.
