NEW DELHI: Veteran Indian boxer Vijender Singh has claimed that because top athletes like her are accustomed to losing weight before important contests, it is possible that weightlifter Vinesh Phogat was sabotaged when he was disqualified from the Olympics final.
Being the first and only male boxer from India to win an Olympic medal, Vijender is well-versed in the importance of maintaining weight before important matches. According to him, it is astonishing that Vinesh (weighing 50 kg) was 100 grams overweight during the weigh-in prior to an Olympic final.
