Mahavir Singh Phogat, a Dronacharya Awardee and veteran wrestling coach, has expressed serious concerns regarding the state of wrestling infrastructure and administration in India. He supports fellow wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who has publicly revealed her involvement in a sexual harassment complaint against former Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Phogat stressed the importance of consistent development and access to quality coaching while highlighting the lack of proper training facilities, stating that many athletes still practice in fields. He criticized the infighting among players, which he believes hampers the sport's growth. In response to Vinesh's safety concerns about the upcoming National Open Ranking Tournament in Gonda, WFI president Sanjay Singh assured her of safety measures and ruled out any last-minute venue changes, emphasizing the logistical challenges posed by such a decision. Singh stated that the federation is committed to ensuring a fair and safe environment for all participating wrestlers.
