Talking to Haryana Tak, Vinesh Phogat’s husband Somveer Rathi said, “You are seeing what has been going on for the last one and a half to two years. The federation is not with us. No one is with us. We have seen everything, no one is standing with us. If no one is standing with the player then what can the player do?”
He further said, “We will not be able to wrestle anymore. We are broken from inside. For whom will we play the game now? We have announced our retirement from wrestling after a lot of thought. Our journey ended here. Now we will not be able to go further, it is very difficult. We thought we would bring a medal for the country. Vinesh tried a lot, but we could not bring a medal. I am very sad about this. We would like to apologize to everyone, we wanted to do it for the country, but could not do it.”
