recently suratbased swimming champion anshul kothari shared a video from the allindia inter university swimming meet 2019 held at phagwara punjab urging union sports minister kiren rijiju to take action against what he termed as blatant cheating happening at the event the video from the 50m butterfly race shows a swimmer taking an early start who went on to win the gold medal after his tweet went viral rijiju tweeted and ensured that the correct course of action will be taken soon talking to us anshul shares i am glad that the sports minister took note of my complaint and swift action was taken the results were altered to ensure that the host university can win more medals such incidents can be very demotivating for young swimmers and its high time that such instances of cheating come to an end anshul adds back in 2009 while participating at the same competition i had also faced this and it has been going on every year back then social media wasnt so big and very few had the courage to speak out against the organisers so i know what it feels like once strict action is taken it will be a big morale booster for aspiring athletes how can we dream of winning olympic medals if such mess at the university level isnt cleaned up a lot of athletes quit the sport after doing well at the university level and these championships not being managed in a proper way is a big reason behind that i hope things will change now
