Sindhu denies reports of tensions in family, threatens legal action against reporter

She further threatened legal action against the reporter for spreading false news.

After a report said PV Sindhu quit Olympic camp after tensions in her family and went to London, the shuttler took to Twitter to refute the reports. She said that she is in London to work on her nutrition, adding that she took her parents' consent. She further threatened legal action against the reporter for spreading false news.

The Olympic silver-medallist has been in London for the last 10 days and posted a picture with sports nutritionist Rebecca Randell of the Gatorade Sports Science Institute (GSSI), her training base, on her social media page on Monday.

Olympics preparation going well, says PV Sindhu

This was after her father PV Ramana told PTI that her move was a result of training 'not happening properly at the camp in Hyderabad'.

The celebrated Indian is gearing up for the Asia leg of the Badminton World Federation's calendar, scheduled in January next year.

Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the BWF has been forced to move the World Tour Finals (January 27-31) and the two Asia opens (January 12-17 and January 19-24) to Bangkok.

Sindhu will not get a direct entry in the rescheduled World Tour Final as the BWF has decided against handing automatic invitations to current world champions and the Indian said being in London gives her a chance to prepare for next year's Asia leg.

Ramana claimed that the celebrated shuttler was not happy with her training at the national camp.

“Her practice was not happening properly here. After the 2018 Asian Games, Gopi (chief coach Pullela Gopichand) didn't take interest in her training. He didn't provide a proper practice partner to train with her,” he said.

“She was not having enough quality practice and was fed up with the treatment,” he claimed.

However, the 25-year-old later said that there is no issue between her and the former All England champion.

Sindhu skipped the recently-concluded Denmark Open Super 750 tournament and will next be seen in action at the Asian leg of the adjusted BWF World Tour 2020 in January.
