The Sports Authority of India (SAI) on June 8 decided to call the entire Indian cycling contingent back from Slovenia after a female cyclist accused chief coach R.K. Sharma of “inappropriate behaviour” during the training-cum-competition trip.
The Indian endurance contingent, consisting of five male and a female, flew to Slovenia on May 15 and was scheduled to return on June 14.
SAI has already called back the cyclist, who made the allegations, and formed an enquiry committee to look into the matter.
The Cycling Federation of India (CFI) Chairman Onkar Singh told PTI that SAI has made the decision to cut short the training trip.
“SAI official called up CFI this morning and said all the contingent including coach R.K. Sharma will be called back immediately from Slovenia,” Singh said.
It has been learnt that SAI also shot off a separate missive to coach Sharma to return as soon as possible.
The training-cum-competition trip to Slovenia was arranged to help Indian team prepare well for the Asian Track Cycling Championships, scheduled to be held in the national capital from June 18 to 22.
