Delhi High Court Orders WFI to Decide on Vinesh Phogat's Show-Cause Notices Within Two Weeks
The Delhi High Court has directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to decide within two weeks on two show-cause notices issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat concerning alleged indiscipline and anti-doping violations. The court highlighted the importance of mental readiness for athletes and noted that pending disciplinary actions could affect Phogat's preparation for a national tournament scheduled for mid-December 2026. If WFI misses the deadline, any decision will be kept in abeyance until the next hearing on January 20, 2027.
