Controversy	In 2015, Sutirtha faced a ban in January 2015 when the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) conducted a fact check and found out that more than 50 players had voluntarily given their wrong age in their documents to compete in other groups. Sutirtha and others were asked to submit the fake and real documents to the federation and they received a one-year ban. Due to this, Sutirtha could not compete in the qualifier rounds for the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. In an interview, she said- "I stopped watching the sport completely. I would be extremely hurt seeing the others play while I couldn't. For any athlete, sitting out for one year is a massive blow, and I was the number one female player in India at that time. I was hurt, mentally very low. For two months, I didn't want to play at all. Whenever I tried, memories would come rushing back. Every single moment of my career would flash in front of my eyes. Everyone told me, 'Your time will come, you will make a comeback'. Quite a few people were there to motivate me, which helped a lot. Of course, my parents are always there as my mentors, and Mihir [Ghosh, coach] supported me a lot during that period." [1]The Hindu
