WKF has criticized Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha for appointing a suspended former referee as the coach for the Indian karate team at the Asian Games. WKF president Antonio Espinos stated in a letter that the designated team leader was not a member of the Karate India Organisation (KIO) and was ineligible to act as a coach.
