#SaritaBetrayed: Sarita Devi suspended for one year
Ending months of speculation regarding her career, troubled Indian female boxer L. Sarita Devi was Wednesday banned for one year and fined Swiss francs 1,000 by the International Boxing Association (AIBA) for refusing to accept her 2014 Asian Games bronze medal.
The world boxing body also handed down two-year bans, ending October 1, 2016 to the 29-year-old boxer's husband Thoiba Singh and coach B.I. Fernandez, and barred her coach Lenin Meitei for one year ending October 1, 2015. Fernandez was also fined Swiss francs 2,000 and Meitei Swiss francs 1,000. (Sarita Receives Medal)
The AIBA, however, relieved Indian boxing chief coach G.S. Sandhu from all charges of misdemeanour.
"The Disciplinary Commission Chair rules that Laishram Sarita Devi is suspended from any activity at the National, Confederation and International levels for a period of one year starting from the 2014 Asian Games medal ceremony (Oct 1). Devi shall pay a fine of Swiss francs 1,000. Devi's suspension shall end on October 1, 2015, provided that all fines have been paid and no additional DC rulings have been rendered against her," an AIBA statement said.
