This is my first post related to physio... and the other is continuation of it...
@Nilgiri.. I hope your inner soul is at peace.. I can't believe you guys, are having such blind love.... can't even digest if anyone blame current govt... It was you who is politicising every thing
... not me..
learn to seek explanation, before you say something..
Would someone with blind love say the whole upper management needs an overhaul and reform?
The state of Boxing in India is in a shambles, are we going to blame a few officers for that too?
This is all what we have inherited from a terrible mismanagement by one party in India's history that has been in power for multiple decades.
Now the bureaucracy is finally being reformed, but sports is not a tier A priority when we have such a mess in much more crucial things.
So inserting your remarks about "scum officers" as though they are the only culprits in what is effectively a huge cancerous tumour in a diabetic body created over many many years that athletes have to fight against rather than get support from....is unfair when the sporting minister (that the prometheus character called an idiot) approached the gymnast personally and got everything sorted out....something that is quite different from what would have been done under anyone else.
In a thread where we are trying to build up goodwill for Indian team, nitpicking every single thing that we know is wrong with the administration sickens me. It gets a political angle whether you want it or not (when someone calls a minister an idiot, esp when he helped the gymnast in question later)....so I would advise sticking to just talking about the results for this tread.
Now if you personally did not mean for it to turn out this way, I apologise...but we must welcome the incremental steps and improvements rather than only blame officers. I mean was it even the same officers that travelled business class or whatever that denied the physio for the gymnast? Why are assumptions being made when some news articles are stating the reasons for the initial inaccompaniment as unknown? Let us wait and see, hopefully a review will be done and a capable leader like Modi will bring the spirit of reform to this sector too.
But I am not going to rush to call anyone a scum or idiot till the dust settles, more information is available and we have more hindsight as to who, what where and why. Indian media is notoriously bad as well when reporting such issues.
