IOA DISSOLVES AD-HOC COMMITTEE FOR WRESTLING, WFI TO TAKE CHARGE

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Monday dissolved the ad-hoc committee which was appointed to handle the day-to-day activities of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), saying that there is no need for the body following lifting of the ban on the federation by United World Wrestling (UWW) and the successful completion of selection trials for future competitions.

UWW lifted the ban on WFI in February with immediate effect. The UWW had placed the WFI under provisional suspension on August 23 last year after the federation failed to hold an election in the stipulated time following accusations of sexual harassment and protests against ex-president Brij Bhushan Singh by top wrestlers Bajrang Punia,

Vinesh Phogat and Sakshi Malik. An ad hoc committee was put in place.
