NEW DELHI: The controversy surrounding the impersonation by Indian riders who represented Nepal during the ITPF Tent Pegging World Cup Qualifiers has got a new twist, almost a year after the shocking incident was first reported by TOI.
The committee investigating the ‘fake’ participation of ‘Nepalese horsemen’ during the qualifiers in Greater Noida revealed on Saturday that it had never recommended the suspension of Indian riders in its report to the Equestrian Federation of India (EFI), and that it didn’t find the four participants “guilty of any impersonation or wrongdoing whatsoever”.
