JFI, which has been presently derecognised, had sent the names of four competitors in every classification to the Commonwealth Games Organizing Committee in March this year. Additionally, preliminaries were held in the ladies’ 78kg class also on the grounds that the coordinators have shown that they might oblige India’s solicitation to permit an additional a contender.
Jatin guaranteed that his name is there among four chose judokas in 60kg. Talking about the activity that prompted the boycott, he said, “We contended in the Olbia Junior World Championships held in Italy in October last year. There I alongside one more Indian judoka erroneously thumped on the entryway of a female competitor from the USA. We apologized likewise and from that point forward, I contended in Cadet Nationals and won gold. I likewise contended in Cadet and Junior Asian Championships.”

Jaiswal Said

I gave notification to the gatherings concerned and even took everyone in certainty and followed all fair treatment prior to forcing the boycott as we were given a cutoff time to make the essential move by the global body. The boycott was subsequently repudiated by the president and Jatin is making his case to contend on a similar ground. Notwithstanding, it ought to be perceived that the IJF has proactively hindered enlistment of those prohibited by them and regardless of whether they figure out how to win preliminaries, they wouldn’t be permitted to contend in the CWG.

One of them, Jiwan Sharma, the public mentor, was astounded to track down his name in the letter. “I never prepared that judoka. Moreover, I am not there in the choice board. I don’t have any idea how my name came in that letter,” he said.
