New Delhi: Indian cricket team's new coach Greg Chappell has refuted claims that he was an ambassador for animals' rights organisation PETA. ``I wish to refute the claim by People for Ethical Treatment of Animals that I am or will be a spokesperson for that organisation,'' Chappell said in a statement on Monday. PETA had issued a statement a few days ago, saying Chappell recommended vegetarianism in his book titled `Health and Fitness'. The former Australian captain said PETA was wrong to use his name for their ``wider campaigns''. ``Some years ago I gave permission to a representative of the PETA organisation to reprint a book of mine for use in Indian market to promote a healthy lifestyle. ``At no stage did I agree to become an Ambassador for their wider campaigns. ``I will be contacting PETA and asking them for an apology,'' Chappell said in his statement. — PTI
