The hearing of Vinesh Phogat’s case in Paris Olympics has been completed. The decision can come today (August 9) or tomorrow (August 10). CAS had earlier said that the decision on Vinesh’s appeal will be announced before the end of Paris Olympics. Paris Olympics is to conclude on August 11. But now the decision on the entire case can come on August 9 or 10.
These four arguments were given on behalf of Vinesh during the hearing.
1. Vinesh argued that she did not commit any fraud.
2. His weight gain was due to the body’s natural recovery process.
3. It was argued on behalf of Vinesh that it is the fundamental right of an athlete to take care of his or her body.
4. It was also argued on behalf of Vinesh that her body weight was less than the prescribed limit on the first day of the competition. The weight increased only due to recovery and this is not a case of cheating. It is her fundamental right to fulfill the nutrients required for her body to be healthy.
