Let us tell you that all the parties were given the opportunity to file their detailed legal arguments before the hearing and then present oral arguments. The sole arbitrator indicated that the operative part of the order is expected soon, after which the detailed order and reasons will be put forward. IOA President Dr. PT Usha thanked senior advocates Harish Salve and Vidushpat Singhania as well as the Sports Legal Team for helping in presenting arguments on behalf of the IOA.
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.
