The Delhi High Court has directed the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) to resolve the show-cause notice issued to wrestler Vinesh Phogat within two weeks.The notice was issued over allegations of indiscipline and anti-doping rule violations during the Asian Games selection trials.Phogat, who lost her semifinal bout to Meenakshi Goyat, had challenged the WFI's selection policy and the validity of the notice.The court allowed her to participate in the trials but refused to grant immediate relief on the notice.The WFI counsel stated that Phogat would receive a personal hearing before a final decision is made.The case highlights ongoing tensions between athletes and sports federations regarding disciplinary actions and eligibility criteria.The court emphasized that Phogat must file a fresh petition if she wishes to address the larger issues related to the WFI's selection policies.
This development underscores the legal and administrative challenges faced by athletes in high-stakes competitions, balancing accountability with fair representation.
