CAS decision on Vinesh Phogat's appeal: Vinesh Phogat appealed to CAS to award her the silver medal after being disqualified from the Paris Olympics 2024. It is reported that CAS may announce its decision before the end of the Olympic Games. Harish Salve is fighting the case on behalf of Vinesh Phogat, who has extensive experience in fighting high-profile cases. Now it has come to light what arguments Vinesh has presented 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 during the hearing. The first aspect is very clear and simple that Vinesh has not committed any fraud, so she should be awarded the silver medal. The second aspect is that Vinesh Phogat's weight gain was the natural recovery process of the body, in which she could not do anything.
It is further said that an athlete has the right to take care of his or her body. The fourth and last argument is that Vinesh's weight on the first day was below the set standards. Meanwhile, it is her fundamental right to consume nutritious food.
The debate lasted for an hour!
According to the report, the hearing of the case may not proceed further and the verdict can be announced soon. The verdict is also likely to be announced today and tomorrow. If sources are to be believed, the debate between Vinesh Phogat and United World Wrestling (WWW) lasted for about an hour.
Earlier, International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach was seen opposing taking Vinesh Phogat's case to CAS. He said that all this is happening under the rules of United World Wrestling (WWW). In such a situation, the chances of her being declared winner of two silver medals seem very low.
