A few months ago, when the wrestlers’ protest against Wrestling Federation of India coach Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh was in full swing, the Sports Authority of India considered introducing a code of conduct for male coaches on how to train women athletes. This was part of a diploma course on sports coaching under the National Institute of Sports, the SAI’s academic work.
But the SAI put the plan on the backburner for reasons unknown. “The reason to do so was not informed to us,” an NIS coach told Newslaundry.
