NEW DELHI: He is ready to take ‘moral responsibility’ for India’s medal-less boxing campaign in but national coach Gurbax Singh Sandhu says the four-year-long administrative logjam cannot escape blame for all that has gone wrong with the once flourishing sport. “I am personally hurt and I take moral responsibility for this. But I feel my boys’ performance was satisfactory under the current circumstances and with the kind of tough draws they ended up getting. As for other things, I knew what was going on in the last four years but I continued thinking that things would improve,” a disheartened Sandhu said in an interview. Boxing became an Olympic medal hope for India ever since Vijender’s historic bronze at Beijing, 2008.
