SAI suspends Sunita Rani's coach
The Sports Authority of India on Friday suspended Sunita Rani's coach, Renu Kohli, to facilitate the Amateur Athletic Federation of India inquiry into the athlete's doping case.
"The suspension is a normal procedure in such cases so
that the inquiry is free and fair," a top SAI official said.
Kohli has already been examined by the one-man committee
of Sushil Salwan, which is probing the scandal.
Rani was stripped of the gold and bronze medals she won at the Busan Asian Games after testing positive
for a banned substance.
The official said according to government rules the
suspension would have to be revoked after three months in case
no charges are established against Kohli.
