Indian Women's Hockey team training in Bangalore...

Today's, TOI reports (see http://hockeyandhockey.blogspot.com/2008/07/indian-hockey-printed-articles-29-july.html) that Indian Women's Hockey team members are stacked nine to a room with conditions so bad that some players have fallen ill.
The article also says that Beijing- bound athletes have been given more rooms than the Women's team.
It mentions that toilet are filthy.
It also says that conditions are much better than Karnail Singh Stadium in New Delhi as far as "food, bed linen and other things" are concerned.
It is quoted, "Because we don't get very little rest, some have fallen ill."
This statement has connotations.
As far as toilets are concerned, it's an omnipresent sight in our country, I feel.
Notwithstanding the fact that often National level Hockey Players are given worst treatment, but by simple summing up of the above article, I felt that the article can be taken with a pinch of salt.
Last but not the least, the national daily, with more than 12 editions, reports it as "Sai's Kenkeri complex". Of what I know, it is SAI, South Center, Kengeri!
