The two players will receive a show cause notice soon. Soma was scheduled to play three matches – women’s doubles, singles, and mixed doubles – while Mou was only scheduled to play doubles. However, due to their absence on the match day, neither of them was able to report to the authority concerned about their participation.
On August 4, Soma suffered a minor muscle injury and pulled out in the middle of a game before giving a walkover in the next match, Alam said. Our team doctor assessed the injury, which was minor, and advised her to rest because she had matches the next day. Things took a different turn the next day.

Later, they did not answer my calls, including calls from the Chef de Mission, and returned to the Games Village at 8:00 p.m. Soma and Mou will now face a temporary ban for causing such an incident during a multi-sport event.
