New Zealand&aposs Olympic Committee might be undecided but the country&aposs Prime Minister John Key today said had he been an athlete he would have definitely gone to the Delhi Commonwealth Games despite the messy build-up to the event.
New Zealand Olympic Committee will take another one day to decide whether to participate in the event or not but Key is quite clear that he would have been in the Indian capital come what may.
"Yeah, if I could pick my own sport, yeah I would go,"he told&aposNew Zealand Press Association&apos.
Key said it unlikely that New Zealand would pull out on its own.
"If we are likely to not send our team then it&aposll be because a large number of like-minded countries form the same view,"he said.
"It&aposs heart-breaking for them (the athletes) if they can&apost go,"he added.
Asked about NZOC&aposs continuing indecision on the matter, Key said the body is entitled to the time it is taking.
"Obviously the Olympic Committee feels that they need a bit more time before they can make a final call on that.
