## I Was Wronged, Hope Korea Hosts Better World Championship:Sarita ##
NEW DELHI: She has offered unconditional apology for an emotionally-charged protest at the Asian Games but Indian boxer L Sarita Devi hoped that her outburst would ensure better judging at next month's World Championship in Korea -- the country where she felt "wronged".
Speaking to PTI after returning from Incheon, Korea with a controversial bronze medal, which she refused to accept at the presentation ceremony, Sarita said the episode has left her "mentally drained".
"I hope the judging is better in the World Championship (scheduled from November 13 to 25 in Jeju Islands). Korea is hosting it and I am hoping that my protest will make some difference to the standard of judging. I hope nobody feels wronged like I did. No boxer should go through this, we work so hard," she said.
Sarita lost a contentious semifinal in the Asian Games to Korean Jina Park despite dominating the bout. The Indian later cried bitterly at the podium and refused to wear the medal that was presented to her.
She instead gave it to Park as a mark of protest during the ceremony.
Sarita later offered an "unconditional apology" to AIBA for her actions. "I apologised because I did not want any other Indian boxer to suffer. I fight for my country and by apologising I have tried to ensure that no other Indian gets affected. I feel I was wronged," she said.
"We suffered a lot due to the federation's termination earlier, I didn't want anything new to affect our boxers."
Recalling her emotional moments at the podium, Sarita said she was not in control.
"I could not control myself on the podium. I offered her (Park) the medal because that's what she deserved. I deserved better. “

Neymar out of World Cup
Neymar was in tears when he carried off on a stretcher, before being taken to hospital in Fortaleza.
Coach Luiz Felipe Scolari said: "Neymar was going to be hunted. For three matches that has been happening."
Team doctor Rodrigo Lasmar told Brazil's SportTV: "Unfortunately, he's not going to be able to play. He is very, very sad."
"It's not serious in the sense that it doesn't need surgery, but he'll need to immobilise it to recover."
"Messi does not need World Cup for greatness"-Maradona
“Messi doesn’t need to win the World Cup to be the best player in the world,” Maradona said,“It would be great for Argentina, the fans and for him, but winning a World Cup or not won’t take away any of his achievements up to now to be among the greatest.”
Maradona thinks the Brazil World Cup is the perfect stage for Messi to get his revenge.
“I approached him and told him he’d have many World Cups to get revenge.
“I said it with all my heart. While the rest were thinking about our return home he was there, head bowed, crying.”
As for this year’s tournament, Maradona went on: “There’s Spain, Germany and there’s Brazil with a tremendous defence.
“You think of Brazil’s defence and six or seven names come to mind, you think of their attack and there’s only Neymar.
“For Messi, it will be a test of character, to bring out all that crying he has in his heart. Brazil can be his great revenge.”
