It's easy to point the needle of blame at these sportspersons. They're doing everything they can to win and provide support for their families. The govt. has a certain responsibility towards these sports and athletes. The taxpayer's money should be utilized to support these sports and encourage sponsorship from private players.
I feel really sorry for these athletes. They grow up with high hopes, years of sincere training, make tons of sacrifices - and receive no support from the govt. We have a sports ministry for this very reason - SUPPORT THESE ATHLETES!! We had Sunil Dutt as sports minister who did nothing for sports in India!
Really, India is a terribly weak country - zero in physical sports - country of accountants and cricketers - 2 activities that even women can pursue. Boxing, football, sprinting, gymnastics, and other physical sports - nah! We have actors and accountants running the sports ministry - ridiculous!!!
