CAS decision on Vinesh Phogat Appeal: After being disqualified from Paris Olympics 2024, Vinesh Phogat had appealed to CAS to give her a silver medal. It has been told that CAS can give its decision before the end of the Olympic Games. Harish Salve is fighting this case on behalf of Vinesh Phogat, who has a lot of experience in fighting high-profile cases. Now it has been revealed what arguments have been put forward by Vinesh in her favor in the hearing.
What was said in favour of Vinesh?
It is being told that many issues have been raised by Vinesh Phogat in the hearing. The first point is very clear and simple that Vinesh has not committed any fraud, so she should be given the silver medal. The second point has been put forward that Vinesh Phogat’s weight gain was the natural recovery process of the body, in which she could not do anything.
Apart from this, it has been claimed that an athlete has the right to take care of his body. The fourth and last argument is that on the first day Vinesh’s weight was less than the set standards. Meanwhile, it is her fundamental right to consume nutritious food.
The debate lasted for 1 hour!
According to the report, the hearing of the case may not proceed further and the verdict can be announced soon. There is also a possibility of the verdict being announced today and tomorrow. If sources are to be believed, the debate between both the sides, Vinesh Phogat and United World Wrestling (UWW), lasted for about an hour.
Earlier, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach was seen opposing Vinesh Phogat taking the matter to CAS. He said that all this is happening under the rules of United World Wrestling (UWW). In such a situation, there seems to be very little hope of them being declared 2 silver medalists.
