Singles tennis player Somdev Devvarman @SomdevD  Somdev Devvarman reacts to the Rio Olympics' organisers threatening to cancel the accreditation of India's Sports Minister, Vijay Goel, if unaccredited people accompanying him do not end their "aggressive and rude" behaviour.

Devvarman tweets, "Typical entitled behavior.. The fact that it's not surprising is a big problem!! Totally unacceptable."

Sarah Peterson, the Continental Manager for the Rio 2016 Organising Committee, said in a letter to India's Chef-de-Mission, Rakesh Gupta, ""We have had multiple reports of your Minister for Sports trying to enter accredited areas at venues with unaccredited individuals. When the staff try to explain that this is not allowed, they report that the people with the Minister have become aggressive and rude and sometimes push past our staff."
