Boxing: It was a lean morning for Indian participants on Day 9 of the Olympic Games, but controversies continued to dog their campaign in the ring with Manoj Kumar falling by the wayside after losing a close pre- quarterfinal bout and then crying foul.

The 64kg fighter came out of the ring and said he was cheated after the verdict went 20-16 in favour of his British opponent, Thomas Stalker, in a thrilling bout at the ExCel Arena here late last night.

The 26-year-old Manoj fought well, but appeared to be distinctly unlucky not to get points, before exploding with his mouth.
