NEW DELHI: It’s back to square one for Indian wrestling. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Monday dissolved the ad-hoc panel formed to run the day-to-day affairs of the WFI, giving full control of the sport to the federation headed by Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh’s close side, Sanjay Singh.
Singh, Brij Bhushan’s trusted lieutenant, close friend and business partner, will now have the full authority to run WFI, forming selection policies for trials and Paris Olympic qualifiers, which could affect the future participation of protesting wrestlers – including Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat – in national and international competitions.
