Silver Medal For Vinesh Phogat? Indian Grappler Could Benefit From UWW Rule 'Loophole' In CAS Hearing

ABP News  

Star Indian grappler Vinesh Phogat may gain an advantage from a UWW rule 'loophole' during her case hearing at Court of Arbitration for Sport. Major UWW Rulebook Loophole Could Benefit Vinesh Phogat A significant loophole in the UWW rulebook could potentially work in Vinesh Phogat's favor. The Indian wrestler, who was 100 grams overweight, could not be granted an exception under UWW rules, leading to her disqualification and leaving her without a medal. Since Vinesh Phogat was disqualified from the finals and Cuba's Yusneylis Guzman Lopez replaced the Indian, the wrestler who lost to Guzman in the semifinal should ideally have had the opportunity to compete in the repechage and not Japan's Yui Susaki.
