Reason behind USA's disqualification from the men's 4x100m relay final

Sindhu did not have her phone during the last three months. The first thing is I would return her phone. The second thing, after coming here for last 12-13 days, I had deprived her from having sweet curd which she likes most. I also stopped her from eating ice-cream. Now she can eat whatever she wants

Pullela Gopichand, PV Sindhu's coach

A bit disappointed but we are happy with the performance. She made us proud. This is her first Olympics and she performed brilliantly. We are confident that she will get the gold next time

I will appeal to the Prime Minister to investigate this matter thoroughly. The truth must come out, even if we need CBI for that. If I'm the culprit, hang me, I'm ready for it. Do a NARCO test on me and also the people who are involved
