Wrestlers' participation in doldrums; WFI, SAI blame each other

New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: War of words seems to have intensified between the Wrestling Federation of India and Sports Authority of India over the issue of wrestlers' participation in the upcoming Ranking Series in Albania. The New Indian Express reported that the wrestlers are likely to miss the event, scheduled to be held from February 26 to March 2, as the SAI has not accorded sanction to the proposal sent in this regard by the WFI. The Indian wrestlers had already missed the first Ranking Series held in Zagreb, Croatia from February 5 to 9 as the SAI didn't issue the sanction. Speaking on the issue, the WFI president Sanjay Kumar Singh said he also spoke to SAI joint secretary and TOPS CEO in this regard on Friday. Our wrestlers already missed the first series and if they miss this one, it will deprive them of important ranking points thus a favourable draw in the worlds," he said.
