NEW DELHI: The Sports Authority of India (SAI) has come down hard on 13 national sports federations (NSFs) for their failure to assign a female coach and support staff with their team contingent for the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou.
The SAI, in a circular issued Tuesday to federations violating the government’s guidelines concerning the safety of women athletes during foreign trips, has directed them to send a revised contingent list which includes at least one female coach/support staff member for the same discipline.
