Lovlina Borgohain is currently preparing for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
The Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Lovlina Borgohain has accused the Boxing Federation of India (BFI) of mentally harassing her.
Lovlina, who became the first Assamese female to represent India at the Olympics, is currently preparing for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, but as per the boxer’s claims, BFI is doing dirty politics with her.
Lovlina took to Twitter to accuse the federation. In her statement, which is written in Hindi, she alleged that her coaches who helped her win medals are being changed at regular intervals to hamper her training process.
“My coaches, who helped me win medals in Olympics, are being removed, and are harassing me in the training process and competition. After pleading multiple times, two of my coaches were brought in, but it was quite late. For this reason, I am facing trouble during training. Moreover, I am being mentally harassed,” she said.
She further wrote, “Currently, my coach Sandhya Gurungji is outside the Commonwealth village and she is not being allowed to enter. For this reason, my training process is halted just before 8 days of the upcoming game. My other coach has also been sent back to India.”
“I am unable to understand; how can I focus on the game now. For this reason, my performance at the world championship was not good. I don’t want to deteriorate my performance at CWG for their dirty politics. I hope, I will bring a medal for my country getting over this politics,” she wrote.
