Wrestling World Championships: Vinesh Phogat’s World Championship participation on the line, decision on August 16; Follow Live updates- Vinesh Phogat’s Wrestling World Championships hopes were dealt with a major blow after the Wrestling Federation of India suspended her for indiscipline during the recently concluded Tokyo Olympics.  The ban marks the continued feud between the multiple Commonwealth Games medallist and the sport’s governing body in India in the build-up to the games. The WFI have levelled three charges on Vinesh, who has until August 16 to respond with her defence.

As per an Indian Express report, Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Singh revealed that it had levelled three charges against the star Indian wrestler. The first of those was her refusal to stay with the team in the village during the Tokyo Olympics, while the second charge was due to her refusal to train with the Indian contingent.

The third was a breach of contract after Vinesh Phogat refused to wear the Indian Olympic Association singlet, and sported her personal sponsor Nike’s singlet. Bhushan Singh also revealed that the federation had overlooked earlier transgressions due to her stature in the sport.
