Scandal over the participation of Israel and Taiwan

The athletes from Israel and Taiwan were not granted entry permits by the regime of President Achmed Sukarno . The protest of the Indian IOC member Guru Dutt Sondhi was unsuccessful. On the initiative of Guru Dutt Sondhi, Indonesia was subsequently excluded from the IOC . In the following year, Indonesia started GANEFO , which was supposed to form a replacement Olympiad. Indonesia could not take part in the 1964 Summer Olympics .
