Worlds fiasco: Aman served show cause notice
The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 23, 2025
THE Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) on Monday issued a show cause notice to Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat for being overweight and subsequently getting disqualified from the recently-concluded World Championships in Zagreb, Croatia.
Aman, who was regarded as a medal contender going into the marquee event, was found overweight during the weigh-in ahead of bouts in the 57kg, which led to his disqualification.
“You were selected to represent India in the 57 kg weight category (Freestyle) for participation in the 2025 Senior World Championship held at Zagreb (Croatia) from 13th to 21st September. You were deputed to attend the Acclimatisation Camp at Porec (Croatia) commencing from 25th August 2025, well in advance of the Championship. Despite reporting at the camp 18 days before the commencement of the bout, you were disqualified from the competition due to being overweight by 1.70 kg,” read the notice.
