MEXICO CITY: Madonna’s new gym in Mexico City was finally given a permit to operate, a local official said Wednesday, two days after the US pop diva inaugurated the luxury workout space.
The Hard Candy gym had been prevented from opening because it lacked permits for land use and for its parking lot, Demetrio Sodi, head of the Miguel Hidalgo borough of Mexico City, and uncle of Latin pop diva Thalia, said.
“It was authorized during the day (Wednesday),” he later told Radio Formula.
“People usually check they have all the permits before inaugurating something,” Sodi said.
No one answered telephone calls made to the gym and its public relations company on Wednesday.
Madonna was in Mexico City on Monday to open the first Hard Candy Fitness club, part of a global chain she and her business partners are unveiling around the world.
Sodi said the gym was granted a special permit for the inauguration, in a country renowned for its cumbersome bureaucracy.
The gym is set in a lavish, three-story, 3,000 square meter (32,000 square foot) space in the Mexican capital”s exclusive Lomas Altas neighborhood.

India Vs Sri Lanka Ahmedabad, live cricket streaming, scores
India have won the toss and elected to bat first in the 1st Test at Ahmedabad against Sri Lanka. India have gone in with four bowlers in Zaheer, Ishant, Harbhajan and Mishra. Sri Lanka’s bowling consists of Prasad, Welegedara, Mathews, Muralitharan and Herath. Watch Live MatchThe contest between the Sri Lankan spinners and the Indian batsmen will be a mouth-watering one. The Indian bowling attack will rely on Harbhajan Singh as usual though he should be getting decent support from Amit Mishra. I expect Harbhajan Singh to take most of his wicket with the sptting top spinner that perfectly lands on the seam. Well and Zaheer Khan makes a comeback into international cricket and will most probably have Ishant Sharma as his new ball partner. As India tends to play with six batsman plus the wicket keeper batsman, the talented Sreesanth might be cooling his heels in the dressing room.
The first Test is at the Motera in Ahmedabad which traditionally takes spin. The pitch at Motera has also been on the drier side which means that the conditions are conducive for reverse swing. Motera wicket has also been traditionally slow and low as the match progresses. The Indian pace attack here scores over the Sri Lankans in this regard. Nuwan Kulasekara did superbly against Pakistan in Sri Lanka but will his swing bowling be effective against the technically sound Indian batsmen remains to be seen. Sri Lanka could also take India’s route of playing it safe by having 6 batsmen in the side.
Sri Lanka have never won a Test Match in India and their bowlers have struggled to take wickets on the generally good better batting tracks here compared to what it is back home. The pressure will be on them really to keep the heavily talented Indian batting down. At the same time, their batsmen led by Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene have to ensure that they get the big scores and not get out after getting a start.
CricketMove.com will be providing the Live Scorecard of this India Vs Sri Lanka 1st Test along with Ball by Ball Commentary.
India Test Squad : MS Dhoni (Captain and Wicket Keeper), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma, Sreesanth, Pragyan Ojha, Amit Mishra, Murali Vijay, S Badrinath
Sri Lanka Test Squad : Kumar Sangakkara (Captain), Tillakaratne Dilshan, Tharanga Paranawithana, Thilan Samaraweera, Mahela Jayawardene, Angelo Mathews, Thilina Kandamby, Prasanna Jayawardene (Wicket Keeper), Kaushal Silva (Wicket Keeper), Chanaka Welegedara, Muttiah Muralitharan (Vice-Captain), Thilan Thushara, Nuwan Kulasekara, Rangana Hearth, Ajantha Mendis, Dammika Prasad.
