'Indian flag proudly carries, by cheating'; Former coach Klaus Bartonietz explodes Shivpal Singh for the failure of Dope mint
Klaus Bartonietz did not ground no words for Shivpal Singh after the Indian Javelin thrower failed the Dope test for a second time in his career, which could see that he was banned as much as eight years when convicted. Bartonietz, who was the coach of Nekaj Chopra, when Javelin Ace won the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 and was a silver medal last year at the Paris Games, couldn’t make sense that Shivpal called the performance “stupid”. The 29-year-old Shivpal, who competed at the Tokyo Olympics, has been suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (Nada) for the time being after he returned positively for a banned drug when his urine sample was taken out of competition earlier this year. The 75-year-old German bio-mechanics expert, Bartonietz, did not hide his anger at Shivpal and did not have words. “Disappointed? I don’t know. But I’m really pissed. So stupid,” Bartonietz told Pti. “It shows that you do not rely on this process. All the baptism does not trust that they can reach the pinnacle of the normal nature of training,” he added. “It’s like cheating. And to carry the Indian flag proudly and say Jai Hind by cheating. I have no word for this. (But) The good thing with the Shivpal story is that he is trapped. So, the system is working. ‘ Bartonietz reveals Shivpal’s misconduct in the training of Bartonietz worked with Shivpal for a short time during his first years in India. The German came to the country in 2019 to help the then head coach, Uwe Hohn, who had trouble managing a large group of athletes – 17. Bartonietz remembered that he coached Shivpal for a short time before you accepted the full responsibility of him. “So Shivpal was with Uwe, but sometimes we worked together,” Bartonietz said he also revealed Shivpal’s misconduct during the short time. “So, even when he (Shivpal) wasn’t four times after practicing an evening where he could no longer practice the next day,” he added.
