Nandini row: Swapna will have to explain her conduct, says AFI
Swapna Barman, a former Asian Games gold medallist in heptathlon, accused a transgender athlete from India of causing her to lose a chance at winning a bronze medal at the Hangzhou Games. She later deleted her tweet, but the controversy sparked a response from the Athletics Federation of India, who called the allegation baseless. The transgender athlete, Nandini Agasara, expressed her confusion and questioned why the accusation was made only after she won the bronze medal. World Athletics regulations ban trans female athletes who have been through male puberty from participating in elite level female competitions.
