Boxing clever not an optionThe management of the army-owned Lumpinee Boxing Stadium, which was the epicentre of many coronavirus infections in early March, were removed this week as recommended by an investigation panel. Falling victim to the purge was Maj Gen Rachit Arunrangsi, head of the Army Welfare Department who was the stadium manager. Maj Gen Rachit was among those who were infected at the stadium in the Ram Intra area while attending "super matches" on that date. By April, infections surpassed 1,000, and a number of deaths were reported, with health authorities linking the spike to the cluster of infections at the boxing stadium. However, the probe panel set up in late March by Army Chief, Gen Apirat Kongsompong, found the stadium management guilty of negligence.
