PARIS: The news of Vinesh Phogat's disqualification spread like wildfire on Wednesday. Frantic calls were made to anyone and everyone who was willing to take the call inside the Games Village.
Amidst the disappointment, there was the desperation to get information - on how the wrestler was doing, why she had failed to maintain the weight. Conspiracy writers were having a field day. After a lot of speculation, Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, the Indian team delegation's chief medical officer (CMO) and Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president PT Usha finally released a video to explain the situation.
