Lisha Das's race derailed before it began: Administrative lapses overshadow CWG debut

A preferred female chaperone was denied access, impacting her preparation and attire choices. She competed without her aerodynamic skinsuit due to the lack of specialized assistance. Authorities must also address the mental harassment the young athlete faced.
