FIH disciplinary committee suspended Amit Rohidas, who received a red card in India’s quarterfinal hockey match against Great Britain, for one match making him ineligible to play in the Paris Olympic semifinal against Germany.
Hockey India (HI) though has appealed against the decision, informed HI president Dilip Tirkey.
A suspension in hockey depends on the nature of the offence, unlike football where every red card leads to a one-game ban. A technical delegate hears the case after the match decides on an appropriate penalty.
