Cyclist files FIR against coach

MUMBAI: The woman cyclist who had complained of “inappropriate behaviour” by the national sprints team coach during a training trip to Slovenia lodged an FIR against the official on Saturday, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) said.

“The national-level cyclist has lodged an FIR on Saturday against the national cycling coach for his inappropriate behaviour during a foreign exposure trip in Slovenia,” the SAI statement read.

Earlier in the week, SAI had terminated the contract of RK Sharma, the chief sprint cycling coach facing allegations of sexual harassment. Its Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) found the allegations to be correct. “The ICC also advised the athlete to file a police complaint, which the athlete decided to do on June 11, 2022,” SAI said.
