The Supreme Court of India allowed wrestler Vinesh Phogat to participate in selection trials for the Asian Games scheduled for May 30. The order followed a challenge by the Wrestling Federation of India to a Delhi High Court decision favoring Phogat. The court directed that she should proceed with the trials. The court also raised concerns about her missing doping tests and about not keeping the WFI informed regarding her whereabouts. The decision provides relief to Phogat, who has won multiple wrestling titles for India. The WFI had previously disqualified her from the 2024 Paris Olympics over weight-related issues.
"One of India's most prominent wrestlers, Vinesh Phogat, has been allowed by the Supreme Court to participate in selection trials for the Asian Games, set for May 30. The top court's order came after the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) challenged a Delhi High Court decision that had ruled in favor of Phogat."
"The Supreme Court bench said, "We are not stopping, you go and participate." The court, however, flagged concerns about her missing the doping tests and keeping the WFI in the dark about her whereabouts. The ruling by the Supreme Court comes as a major relief for Phogat, who has won several wrestling titles for India."
"WFI had disqualified her from the 2024 Paris Olympics citing her weight. Her controversial disqualification came after she"
