Former India hockey coach Sjoerd Marijne’s upcoming book “Will Power: The Inside Story of the Incredible Turnaround in Indian Women’s Hockey” has created a lot of controversies even before its release on 21 September. Earlier, Hockey India had said that the governing body is in the process of “pursuing legal remedies” against Marijne and the publisher of the book for making an accusation against men’s team captain Manpreet Singh. “We are in the process of pursuing legal remedies against Mr. Sjoerd Marijne and the publishers of the book in question, Harper Collins.” Both teams said if such an incident had indeed taken place, Marijne should have reported the matter to either Hockey India or Sports Authority of India, which he didn’t.
