Terry Walsh cleared

December 29, 2014 12:23 am | Updated 12:23 am IST - NEW DELHI:

Less than a month after Terry Walsh sent a legal notice to USA Field Hockey (USAFH), the former India men’s hockey coach has claimed through his lawyers that the USFAH has cleared him of any wrongdoing.

Walsh had sent the notice to USAFH seeking redaction of the financial irregularity allegations against him, which formed the basis of Hockey India president Narinder Batra refusing to extend his tenure with the Indian team.

In a statement on Saturday from his lawyers IP Business Laws, Inc, in California, the Australian reiterated his innocence. “We are glad to report that the attorney for USA Field Hockey (Mr. Steve Smith) wrote, on December 10, 2014: ‘Finally, the assertion that USAFH criticised Mr. Walsh’s failure to obtain a software license for Sportstec software directly from Sportstec on behalf of USAFH is simply incorrect.’ This confirms that there were no financial issues related to the services rendered by Mr. Walsh for USAFH,” the statement read.
