Critically, some players went to the tournament in Czech Republic carrying life threatening conditions. Two were diagnosed with severe hypertension and were supposed to see a cardiologist. But they left for the world championships without medical clearance.

Two other players had lower back injuries also not treated. The report further reveals that the team travelled to Czech Republic without a physiotherapist.
