New Delhi, Feb 11 : Olympian Avtar Singh has criticised the functioning of the Judo Federation of India (JFI) for not following National Sports Development Code 2011 and International Judo Federation (IJF) rules while holding national selection trials for the Olympic qualifying competitions, including Asian Oceania Championship, held on February 9 and 10 here.
In a letter addressed to JFI general secretary Man Mohan Jaiswal, Singh, who competed at the 2016 Rio Olympics, has pointed out that competitors were just given five days to prepare for the trials meant for the prestigious competitions like the Olympic qualifiers, held at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium.
