Athlete OP Jaisha denied that she lied and said the allegations by Athletics Federation of India (AFI) that she denied water and drinks were false. She also insisted on an inquiry against AFI.

Jaisha had collapsed at the finish line after completing the marathon and had to be rushed to a hospital where her coach Nikolai Snesarev got into an altercation with one of the doctors and ended up being detained for half a day by the local police.
