On Thursday, during his fight against Jamaica Ricardo Brown in Ronde 91kg 16 at the Tokyo Olympics, India’s super-heavy boxer Satish Kumar suffered injuries above his right eye.
Satish is offered easily noticed on medical on-ground by the high-performance director of Santiago Nieva and head of the National Coach Ca Kuttappa.
But there were no Indian team doctors in Ry Goku Kokating Arena to attend injury.
Likewise, Vikas Krishhan’s fight against Mensah Okazawa Japan last Saturday saw the Indian welterweight boxer sustaining cutting under his left eye.
At that time, the team doctor did not exist.
It has now been studied that the nine-member boxing contingent has competed in Tokyo without the official team of doctors.
Indian team doctor Karanjeet Singh should be named in the contingent bonded Olympics in official capacity but lowered in the list as ‘extra officials’.
He has cooled his heel in a hotel outside the athlete village.
Operator Tokyo 2020 has not allowed its ‘venue access’ in P-TAP accreditation (personal-training program).
It was the same as Fisio Aayahush Yekshande, who also killed his time at the Tokyo Hotel.
Karanjeet can only go to the boxer training session for his P-Tap accreditation, but cannot visit the competition.
As a result, boxers suffer from blackouts or other injuries must come to the training hall outside the village of athletes.
