The Wrestling Federation of India on Friday April 29,2016 issued show cause notice
to four wrestlers including the two Phogat sisters -- Babita Kumari and
Geeta -- and handed them temporary suspension for showing indiscipline,
bringing their dreams of qualifying for the Rio Olympics to an abrupt
end.
Besides the Phogat sisters, Sumit (men’s 125kg freestyle) and Rahul Aware (men’s 57kg freestyle), have also been temporarily banned.
“Four of them have been handed temporary suspension and are de-barred from taking part in the next Olympic qualification event in Istanbul,” Assistant secretary of WFI, Vinod Tomar, told
The last Olympic qualifier -- 2nd World Qualification tournament -- is scheduled to take place at Istanbul, Turkey, from May 6-8,2016
“Both Babita and Geeta are barred from going to Turkey. In their place Lalita and Sakshi Malik would be taking part. Similarly, another grappler would represent India in men’s 125 kg category in the last qualifying event,” Tomar said
