The absence of their own and the country’s name on some Indian boxers’ vests in the Olympics has caused a furore after the legendary MC Mary Kom alleged that she was forced to change minutes before her Last-16 bout without proper explanation from the organisers.

Mary Kom on Thursday and Lovlina Borgohain on Friday fought in uniforms which neither featured their names nor their countries on their vests.“It was a bit unsettling that they asked me to change my uniform just five minutes before the bout. In fact, at that time my name had been announced. It was deliberate action to disturb me,” Mary Kom told PTI, still agitated about the 2-3 loss.
