    India's Olympic-bound boxers will need to wait before resuming training

    Top Indian boxers will have to wait for some more time before resuming training. This is after the national federation's plan to restart the camp on June 10 in Patiala has been delayed by at least a week because of administrative issues. The camp, which was expected to restart for both men and women, is yet to get the "requisite clearances". Here's more.

    We are awaiting a response from SAI, says BFI

    "We are awaiting a response from the Sports Authority of India (SAI) on our proposal and they are awaiting a response from the government. The clearance might come in a day or two but we need at least a week to work out the logistics," Boxing Federation of India's Executive Director R K Sacheti told PTI.

    Decision to combine the training was taken last month

    The men boxers generally in Patiala, while the women's camp is based in Delhi. However, the decision to combine the two in Patiala from June 10 was taken on May 23 after a video conference was held between top BFI officials, the boxers and national coaches. Besides logistics, the boxers have to be tested for COVID-19.

    State governments have final authority on functioning of sports complexes

    Sporting activities in India were halted after the imposition of a lockdown to contain the deadly coronavirus pandemic in March. The home ministry allowed opening of sports complexes and stadia, without spectators, in relaxations announced last month. However, the state governments have the final authority on the matter depending on the COVID-19 situation.
