Indian badminton players at the World University Games have alleged threats from officials after exposing gross mismanagement. Despite winning bronze in the mixed team event, six of the 12-member squad were barred from competing due to administrative errors. Players claimed they were warned their careers would be ruined upon return. Lack of training courts, shuttles, and no physiotherapist further highlighted poor planning. Injuries have now affected India’s chances in upcoming events. The controversy raises serious questions over athlete welfare and accountability within India’s sports administration, as young athletes call for reforms to prevent such future negligence.
