Sachin Tendulkar On Vinesh Phogat: Vinesh Phogat was disqualified before the final in the Paris Olympics. In this way she had to lose the medal. Actually, after Vinesh Phogat reached the final, the medal was decided, if she had managed to win, she would have got the gold medal and even if she lost, she would have got the silver medal. However, this wrestler had to lose the medal after being disqualified. After this, many well-known personalities gave their reaction on the Vinesh Phogat controversy. Now former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has given his opinion on the entire controversy.
‘Every game has some rules and those rules…’
Sachin Tendulkar has written in his post- Every sport has some rules and those rules need to be seen in context, maybe even revisited sometimes. Vinesh Phogat qualified for the final fairly, her disqualification on the basis of weight happened before the final. Therefore, taking away her well-deserved silver medal is beyond logic and understanding of the game. Sachin Tendulkar’s post is becoming increasingly viral on social media. Apart from this, social media users are constantly giving their reactions by commenting.

‘If an athlete is found to be using performance enhancing drugs…’
The Master Blaster further writes that it would have been understandable if an athlete was disqualified for ethical violations such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, in that case it would be fair to not be awarded any medal and be placed last. However, Vinesh defeated her opponents fairly to reach the top two, she definitely deserves a silver medal, we are all waiting for the decision of the sports tribunal, let’s hope and pray that Vinesh gets the recognition she deserves.
It is worth noting that on Friday, in the Vinesh Phogat case, the Court of Arbitration of Sport said that the decision on Vinesh Phogat’s petition regarding her disqualification from the women’s 50 kg category final will come before the current Paris Olympics.
