India's Athletics Coach Detained In Rio For Alleged Misbehaviour, Then Released After Embassy Intervenes

India's athletics coach Nikolai Snesarev was 'detained' for one-and-a-half days after a complaint of misbehaviour was lodged against him. A lady doctor at the Games Village of the Rio Olympics made the complaint.

The Belarusian, who trains the likes of Lalita Babar, Sudha Singh and O P Jaisha, was kept at a local police station and was later let of after the intervention of the Indian Embassy in Brazil.

Apparently he pushed aside a lady doctor to enter the polyclinic when Jaisha was taken for a checkup. This despite the fact that she told him not to go inside.
