Phogat was disqualified from the final bout after being found 100 grams overweight during the weigh-in. She had sought to share the silver medal with Cuban wrestler Yusneylis Guzman Lopez, whom she had defeated earlier in the competition.

The CAS ad-hoc division will need additional time to deliberate on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's appeal concerning her disqualification from the women's 50kg freestyle final at the Paris Olympics 2024.

The first photo of Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat with IOA President PT Usha has gone viral following her disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024.

In an unexpected turn of events at the Paris Olympics 2024, which has sent shockwaves across India, wrestler Vinesh Phogat was disqualified just hours before her women's 50kg final on Wednesday.

The IOA highlighted the successful collaboration between the ad-hoc committee and the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) in conducting the selection trials for the upcoming Olympic qualifying tournament next month.

In a statement, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) expressed concern that the recently elected president and officials of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) have made arbitrary decisions, contravening their own constitutional provisions and disregarding principles of good governance.

Following the suspension of the recently elected Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), the Sports Ministry has directed the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Sunday to form an ad-hoc body for the administration and oversight of WFI affairs.

The Asian Games are scheduled to commence in Hangzhou, China on September 23 and IOA is required to submit the names of the competing athletes by July 15.

Indian wrestlers have still not given up on their protests against WFI chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Meanwhile, with IOA's ad-hoc panel taking control of WFI, the protesting grapplers have called it their first step to justice.

Decorated wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia and Sakshi Malik are the three central characters in the renewed protests against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
