NEW DELHI: Olympic medallist Yogeshwar Dutt on Wednesday came down heavily on the IOA-appointed ad-hoc panel's decision to hand exemptions to Bajrang Punia and Vinesh Phogat from the Asian Games selection trials, saying that the "biased move" was not in the best interest of the sport.
IOA's ad-hoc panel on Tuesday handed direct Asian Games entries to Bajrang Punia (65kg) and Vinesh Phogat (53kg), who were at the forefront of the protest against outgoing Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.
