Read the write-up and see how the Indian sports officials play with the athletes career and life too:
According to the AFI , personalised drinks are provided and kept in their stalls only if it is requested for by the layer or her coach and water and other refreshments are available every 2 ms and other facilities every 5 kms of the marathon route, which is organised by the Olympic committee..In fact Anju Bobby George who too came on newsx said that was true, that there is no dearth of water or other refreshments since it is normally provided by the even managers ..
There are more twists now with even the other runner Kavita raut
Saying that specialises drinks were offered by the officials
Raut appears to speak the truth when she says that both Jaisha and her coach did not attend the Assemblies where they would be briefed prior to the race . If they had attended they would have got the support that was required in the form of liquids .

Yes. Everybody wants that Justice should prevail. For this an impartial enquiry should take place. because after OP Jaisha alleged that during her Marathon run, the Indian officials failed to provide most essential water and energy drinks, at the designated points located at every 2.5 Km.
Starting from eminent Sports commentators like Harsha Bhogle all were furious seeing how the marathon runners were treated with such apathy.
But, Indian Athletic Federation said that, Jaisha's allegations are baseless. In this Background an Enquiry must take place to find out what's truth. So let's wait.
Jaisha refuses to Back down.
A person that knows there is no more chances for her further participation will go to any extent for saving her side. I am not surprised to read her because there are others too who are giving various versions of innovative excuses. I am sure more than half of them went on falls qualification marks.
I think we need to see each issue separately. Politicians , top officials and bureaucrats going for their own enjoyment at tax payers expense is to be condemned . But the sports associations may not be the same since they go there with a specific purpose and have been doing so for decades now and once at the Olympics , the organisation becomes the responsibility of the Olympic organisers . As far as Jaisha is concerned, now different versions are coming out..
According to the link you gave, both are blaming the Coach, Dr. Nikolai Snesarev who declined Indian Officials offer to provide refreshments and water during the Race.. Now it has to be seen why the Coach declined Indian Officials offer to provide Water and Refreshments to the Indian Marathon runners.. It's apparent that the best thing would be to wait and watch the twists and turns taking place every day in this Case..
Something wrong must have taken place and now it is for the panel to find out. If the coach is responsible for all this then he should be made answerable. I am not sure the coach is behind the mess or not but at the very beginning the sports authority said that Jaisha was lying and people were there in the Indian counter to offer water and so on.
When the case has taken so many turns in a span 5 to 6 Days, the pace of the investigation drastically slows down.. The way in which Buck is being passed , certainly creates confusion . What I feel is, before we know who is lying, Coach or Indian Athletic Federation or Jaisha herself. it takes quite some time. And I'm sure, it's going to be a tough task for the Investigating Panel.

The other athlete Kavita Raut who also took part in the same event has said that there was water provided at intervals and she used it whenever she wanted to ..She has distanced herself from Jaisha controversy..
