Imphal, December 15 2014:
International Footballer, Moirangthem Gouramangi has commented that the harsh decision of AIBA to suspend the promising woman boxer Laishram Sarita should be reviewed to allow her to continue to rein in the world of boxing.
In a conversation with the Hueiyen Lanpao Daily today, the star footballer expressed that 'as a player he could understand how she would have felt under those circumstances when a hard earned medal deserved by a player has been given away for nothing' .
Her reaction was quite natural considering the enthusiasm she had shown after the controversial match.
The decision of the judges must have really shattered her confidence and beliefs.
Hence, she demonstrated an absurd behavior at the closing ceremony.
However, Sarita has already made the apology for her conduct, he added.
He also appealed to the authority concerned to look into the matter and allow Sarita to play again on behalf of the nation.
