EFI Defends Tarsem Singh's Selection as Head Coach Amidst Sexual Harassment Allegations
•The Equestrian Federation of India (EFI) defended its decision to appoint Col Tarsem Singh as head coach for the Indian tent pegging team despite serious allegations.
•The International Tent Pegging Federation (ITPF) and Sports Authority of India (SAI) raised concerns regarding athlete safety following a sexual harassment complaint against Singh.
•EFI stated Singh was reinstated by the Delhi High Court and has been fulfilling responsibilities, calling him the "most appropriate choice" for the World Cup Qualifiers.
•India achieved its best performance in recent times under Singh's coaching, winning four team medals and two individual medals at the qualifiers.
•EFI claims no official communication about allegations, and Singh clarified a "false case" against him is sub-judice, with no restrictions on his duties or travel.
