NEW DELHI: Minor para cyclist Lisha Das escalated her dispute with the country’s sports authorities ahead of her departure for the Commonwealth Games, informing the Cycling Federation of India (CFI) that she will not wear the official India kit and will carry her own Tricolour. She also said she would stay outside the team hotel, travel on independently booked tickets and decline the federation’s travel and accommodation arrangements in Glasgow, citing “continued harassment, mental distress and lack of support”.In another strongly worded email — a copy of which is with TOI — the athlete demanded immediate accreditation and field-of-play access for her coach, Aditya Mehta, saying the Delhi high court had already recognised him as her coach.المصدر: Times of India | Source: Times of India
