Boxing coaches barred from ringside at CWG

Update: 2014-07-17 22:54 GMT
In what appears to be a case of misunderstanding, India’s boxing coaches at the Glasgow CWG have been barred from occupying ringside seats during bouts due to the country’s termination from the International Boxing Association (AIBA). A communication to this effect from the competition organisers was received by the Indian Olympic Association on Tuesday, a source said. ‘The competition organisers seem to have misunderstood the situation (vis-a-vis the termination of Indian Boxing Federation by world boxing body AIBA in March and its replacement and provisional recognition of a new entity Boxing India in May) and have barred the coaches from seconding the boxers during bouts,’ the source said.
