Paris Olympics medallist Aman banned for a year

Aman, a strong medal contender in 57kg, was 1.7kg over the prescribed limit on the morning of his weigh-in and forfeited his bout.

WFI issued a show cause notice to Aman on September 23 "seeking an explanation regarding his disqualification due to exceeding the weight limit by 1.7kg." The federation said his reply was reviewed by the disciplinary committee. He was also asked to appear before a five-member committee headed by WFI president Sanjay Kumar Singh which also had the national coaches in attendance. Clarifications were obtained from the chief coach and support coaching staff.

"Upon thorough examination the committee found your response unsatisfactory and has resolved to impose strict disciplinary action," Singh said in the suspension letter issued to Aman on Tuesday. "You are hereby suspended from all wrestling related activities, both at the national and international level for a period of one year effective from the date of show cause notice," according to the suspension letter, a copy of which is with HT.
