Courageous Vinesh at the forefront of fight against wrestling federation chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh for alleged sexual harassment

It has been an unprecedented face-off in Indian sports – never ever had Olympic medallists made sexual harassment allegations against a federation chief, who is also a ruling party MP. Late on Friday, Round One of this battle seemed to have gone the players’ way. India’s top grapplers called off their stir against the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) on Friday following an hours-long meeting with sports minister Anurag Thakur, which ended with the government asking Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the federation’s beleaguered chief, to step aside pending inquiry. On Saturday, the Director General of Sports Authority of India (SAI) also suspended WFI’s assistant secretary Vinod Tomar because of “reports about the functioning of WFI”. At the helm of this players’ movement has been Vinesh Pho...

Hailed as one of the best managers of the current generation, Klopp too has a time cycle of building a team, taking it to the pinnacle and then tapering off – a process that almost every football manager goes through. Klopp is in the third management job of his career. At every club he has been at, the German has left a legacy. The success achieved by him at Mainz an...
