Parveen's Olympic dreams over after ITA ban

In the wake of this development, the BFI also confirmed that they will be sending a fresh challenger from the country to regain the quota during the upcoming Olympic qualifiers in Bangkok. There will be at least three quotas on offer in the category. The BFI said that the reserves (60kg and 66kg) are eligible to compete in the 57-kg category (goes without saying that cutting weight is necessary). However, it is unclear at the moment as they had not officially announced the reserves at the time of announcement of the squad on April 13.
