New Delhi: Hockey India upped the ante against the Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) on Friday by announcing a new hockey league while claiming that IHF's World Series Hockey is not sanctioned by the International Hockey Federation (FIH).
HI also chose to accuse a "desperate" IHF of indulging in an "anti-national" campaign.
This development comes at a time when efforts are on to clear the mess in the administration of the game. The warring parties are currently in talks with the Indian Olympic Association ( IOA) to work out a solution.
In a statement, HI said that its event, which will be held over a period of 45 days from 2013, will be under the aegis of FIH and warned "serious implications" for players and officials participating in the WSH.
