The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is preparing a formal complaint against dodgy officiating against Indian athletes Neeraj Chopra and Jyothi Yarraji in the recently concluded Asian Games in Hangzhou, China
AFI to lodge official complaint over dodgy decisions against athletes in Asian Games

The track officials had surprisingly 'failed' to measure the first throw by India's Olympic and World Champion javelin thrower Neeraj Chopra, forcing him to make his first throw again as he went on to win the gold medal with a dominant 88.88m throw.

The Chinese track officials made an immoral attempt to get India's Jyothi Yerraji (in pic) from the women's 100m hurdles event after a Chinese competitor Yanni Wu (in pic) made a false start. Even though it was clear in the videos that it was the Chinese runner who made the false start, the officials also tried to force Jyothi out.
