WFI prez slaps over-aged wrestler at U-15 Nationals

The incident happened on the concluding day of the tournament – Friday – when the disqualified wrestler from Uttar Pradesh started misbehaving with the president, who lost his cool after a while. Interestingly, the wrestler trains at an academy in Gonda which belongs to the WFI president.

“The wrestler wanted a favour from the president since he was from UP and from his centre. But, the president wants to root out age-related corruption, so did not let him compete,” WFI assistant secretary Vinod Tomar told PTI. “We actually disqualified 60 to 70 over-aged wrestlers from the competition and he was one of them.”
