Wrestler Vinesh Phogat arrived in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh, to participate in the National Open Ranking Tournament, despite facing serious allegations from the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI). The WFI issued a show-cause notice citing anti-doping rule violations and disciplinary breaches, barring her from competition until June 26. Vinesh, who is making a comeback after giving birth to her son in July, aims to qualify for the Asian Games trials scheduled for May 30 in Delhi. However, winners of the tournament will not be eligible for selection, according to WFI's policy. The verification for women's freestyle is set for Monday evening, with weigh-ins on Tuesday morning. Gonda is notable as the home turf of former BJP Member of Parliament Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who has faced accusations of sexual harassment from multiple wrestlers, including Vinesh herself. The WFI's notice accuses her of failing to meet the mandatory six-month notice period for returning to competition and participating in trials while under suspension. Vinesh has been given 14 days to respond to the notice but has not publicly commented on the situation.
