Indian Hockey Teams Refute Ex-Coach's Allegations Against Manpreet Singh
The Indian men's and women's hockey teams, in a joint statement, have strongly refuted allegations made by former men's team coach Sjoerd Marijne against captain Manpreet Singh. The 48-year-old former Dutch player, according to a report in The Indian Express, has written in his soon-to-be-released book titled “Will Power” that skipper Manpreet had allegedly told a player "to stop playing so well because his friends were not able to get into the team.” According to the report, Marijne also wrote: “I don't know if Manpreet had said so as a joke, but it made me so furious.”
