Vinesh Phogat, a two-time World Championship medallist, is facing a significant setback after the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) issued a detailed show-cause notice accusing her of indiscipline and violations of anti-doping rules. This notice has declared her ineligible to compete in domestic events until June 26, disrupting her plans to return at the National Open Ranking event in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. The WFI stated that Vinesh did not fulfill the mandatory six-month notice period required for athletes returning from retirement under the United World Wrestling (UWW) Anti-Doping Rules. Vinesh expressed her determination to fight back against the allegations, stating, “No sword has the power to make it bow,” in a tweet reflecting her resilience amidst the challenges. The WFI's notice, which spans 15 pages, alleges that her conduct has caused lasting damage to the reputation of Indian wrestling and that compliance with World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) rules is non-negotiable. WFI President Sanjay Singh emphasized that it is Vinesh's responsibility to prove her eligibility before competing again.
