A growing controversy after the Pakistani hockey team removed their shirts, used foul language and made obscene gestures moments after their 4-3 victory against India in Champions Trophy semi-finals on Saturday. After initially saying an apology from the Pakistan coach was enough, the International Hockey Federation finally handed out a one-match ban to two Pakistani players while a third player got reprimanded. The action came after a furious Hockey India said it would not host any event sanctioned by the world body until strong punishment was handed out to the offenders. But is the one-match ban for two players enough?
