Nepal’s top swimmers are accusing the Nepal Swimming Association of unfairly changing the selection criteria for the Asian Games during the qualification event itself. The athletes allege the rules were altered mid-competition, impacting their chances of participation. Association officials, however, maintain the selection process was conducted fairly and with full transparency. The dispute centers on how athletes qualified for the national team representing Nepal at the upcoming Asian Games. Details of the specific changes to the criteria remain contested. This controversy raises questions about the integrity of the selection process and fairness for the competing athletes. No independent investigation has been announced as of yet.
