Bindra urges NRAI to allow him to practice on his own

Chandigarh, Jan 16 (PTI) Ace Indian shooter Abhinav
Bindra, who has created a flutter by threatining to quit the
sport, Saturday urged the administrators to let him follow his
own training module which has helped him become an Olympic
champion.

Bindra said he was frustrated with the National Rifles
Association of India's attitude towards him.
The NRAI and the sports ministry though are blaming each
other for creating the confusion about Bindra's participation
in the selection trials.
"I want to concentrate on my sport and to keep myself out
of these non productive issues, which only has an adverse
effect on my future performance," Bindra said in a statement.
The Chandigarh marksman said he was frustrated with the
turn of events which led to his exlusion from the Commonwealth
shooting championship squad.
"I was communicated through a letter by the Ministry of
Sports (MOS) in July, 2009 and September 2009 that the NRAI
had intimated that I must participate in the selection trial
in December 2009, Commonwealth shooting championship in
February 2010 and in ISSF World Cup in March 2010.
"I gave my confirmation in September 2009 about my
participation in these events. I planned my training in Europe
accordingly and came back specially in December 2009 only to
learn that there were no trials taking place.
"Subsequently the team for the Commonwealth shooting
championships February 2010 has been announced without my name
featuring in it," he said. More PTI SUN
