Indian Shuttler MR Arjun had a unforgettable ordeal after going out of Orleans Masters when he and other shuttlers had to wait for over 3 hours in the cold for transport to the airport. The shuttler took to social media to express his disappointment at the inhuman treatment meted out to him and other shuttlers.
With a forgetful second-round exit in Orleans, France, Indian shuttler MR Arjun concluded his participation in the Orleans Masters, a BWF World Tour Super 300 event held concurrently with the All England Open last week.
In three social media posts, Arjun detailed their ordeal and claimed that they were left to handle the matter of their transportation to the airport by the Orleans Masters organizers, who instead demanded that they pay 85 euros each.
“Update on The transport at Orleans Masters 2024. We were asked to pay 85 euros each for our transport to the airport and was asked to come to a location where we would get the transport at 3 am which is 6 hrs before our flight. This was already very early for us,” Arjun wrote on X on Sunday.
“Now it is 4 AM and we all are waiting at the location for the bus to arrive. On speaking to the transport manager he says the bus will come in an hour’s time. There are about 20 athletes waiting since 3 AM,” he added.

“This is such a pathetic treatment to the athletes. Waiting in this cold weather at 3 in the morning for 2 hours is not a joke. That too sleep deprived,” he stated.
