The medal was decided only after Vinesh Phogat reached the final, if she won she would get the gold medal and if she lost she would get the silver medal. Vinesh had to lose the medal due to being disqualified. After this, many well-known personalities reacted to the Vinesh Phogat controversy. Now former Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has given his opinion on this entire controversy.
'Every game has some rules and those rules…'
Sachin Tendulkar wrote 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 with fair play, her disqualification on the basis of weight happened before the final. Therefore, taking away the silver medal from her which she deserves is beyond logic and sportsmanship. 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 disqualified for using a performance enhancing substance…'
The master blaster further writes that if an athlete had been disqualified for ethical violations such as the use of performance-enhancing drugs, in this case he would not have been given any medal and would have been placed last. However, Vinesh beat her competitors to make it to the top two, she definitely deserves a silver medal, we are all waiting for the decision of the sports court, let's hope Vinesh gets the recognition she deserves.
It is noteworthy that on Friday, in the Vinesh Phogat case, the Sports Arbitration said that the decision on Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the women's 50 kg category final will come before the current Paris Olympics.
