Delhi High Court Seeks WFI Response on Vinesh Phogat's Disciplinary Challenge
The Delhi High Court has sought the Wrestling Federation of India's (WFI) response to Olympian Vinesh Phogat's petition challenging two show-cause notices and related disciplinary actions. Phogat alleges these notices are arbitrary and discriminatory, affecting her return to competitive wrestling after maternity. She contends the first notice relies on outdated rules and disputes the federation's eligibility framework. The court clarified it is not issuing formal notice and will hear the matter next on September 29. Phogat also seeks a fair framework for women athletes returning post-pregnancy.
