Rowers protest Asian Games crew changes, federation cites strategy
Indian rowers have raised objections to changes in their teams for the Asian Games, with some alleging that a top federation official threatened to ruin their future if they protested. The rowers are considering lodging a complaint with the Ministry. The Rowing Federation of India (RFI) president, Balaji Maradapa, attributed the crisis to "outside forces" and stated that a compressed program necessitated the changes.
