But before the final, her weight was found to be 100 grams more, due to which Vinesh Phogat was disqualified. But Vinesh Phogat has still not given up. She has raised her voice against this decision.

Vinesh Phogat appealed against the decision

Vinesh Phogat has appealed against disqualification in the Court of Arbitration for Sports. Vinesh asked to be reinstated for the gold match and then amended the petition for shared silver. At the same time, CAS has responded to the mail. CAS will give its final decision tomorrow. This means that Vinesh Phogat wants to be given at least a silver medal. If CAS gives a decision in favor of Vinesh, then the IOC will have to give Vinesh a silver medal.

Who is CAS?

CAS is an independent body established in 1984 to resolve sports-related disputes. Its headquarters are in Lausanne, Switzerland and its courts are in New York City and Sydney, while temporary courts have been set up in Olympic host cities. In such a situation, Vinesh Phogat has appealed in Paris itself. Let us tell you, CAS is independent of any sports organization. In many sports disputes, CAS has the final decision, in some circumstances an appeal can be made to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland.
