Indian women’s hockey coach Marijne questioned the International Hockey Federation’s interpretation of a penalty stroke awarded to China after a draw at the Hockey World Cup and later deleted his social-media posts.

He shared video footage of the incident and sought clarification from the FIH.

Former players expressed their views on the controversial penalty-stroke action, and the FIH had not responded to Marijne’s requests for clarification at the time of publication.
