Srinagar, April 24: Porn images suddenly appeared in an online class held by Sports Authority of India (SAI) on Thursday for Badminton coaches across India, leaving the major sports body in embarrassment.
The live streaming session, where India’s chief coach Pullela Gopichand and Indonesian coaches Agus Dwi Santoso and Namrih Suroto were teaching a few tricks and lessons to young coaches, left everyone red faced as 700-plus coaches across the country watched the images on their screens at 12.40 pm, Times of India reported.
After the coronavirus pandemic halted the normal life, countries are suggesting people to opt for online classes. Pertinently, SAI also decided to give its badminton coaches some training via online video conference.
However, it proved to be an embarrassment, owing to surprise appearance of porn images. SAI had announced that they will be holding online classes for different sports disciplines to cope up with the situation.
“The Sports Authority of India, in association with national sporting federations, is hosting online knowledge development workshop for coaches in 16 disciplines. So far all sessions have functioned smoothly, with 500-700 coaches from across the country participating in the workshops per session,” SAI, Bengaluru’s statement read.
