'They Have No Understanding Of The Rules...', WFI Chief Hits Back At Politicians Over 100 Gm Row
New Delhi: As the nation awaits the CAS verdict on Vinesh Phogat's appeal, Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Sanjay Singh criticised politicians for exploiting the wrestler's disqualification issue for political mileage, stating that "they have no understanding of the rules and regulations."
Vinesh was disqualified from the 50kg women's wrestling final at the Paris Olympics as she failed her final weight check, turning out to be 100gm overweight despite attempting to make valiant attempts to shed the 2.7 kg she had picked to replenish the energy lost on the first day of the competition when she won three bouts to reach the final.
After Vinesh's disqualification, politicians began voicing their opinions and alleging a conspiracy against the star wrestler. The issue was even raised vigorously by the Opposition in Parliament.
