One of them is that former President of the Wrestling Federation of India and former BJP MP Brijbhushan Sharan Singh ensured that Vinesh Phogat did not get a medal. If Vinesh had brought a gold or silver medal, Brijbhushan would have been the one to complain the most, followed by the BJP and the central government. When Vinesh had staged a protest against sexual harassment of women wrestlers, Brijbhushan had said that she would not even be able to qualify for the Olympics.
Therefore, conspiracy theorists say that Brijbhushan has been involved in the politics of wrestling associations for decades and that he used his contacts to send the acting president of the Wrestling Federation of India, Sanjay Singh, to Paris and there, through his contacts in the Olympic Association, ensured that Vinesh did not get a medal. However, whether there is any basis for this or not, is a matter for investigation.
But the question is, are Brij Bhushan’s arms really so long that he can stop a medal in the Olympics? Why is there no investigation into how Vinesh gained weight? For now, there is also the question that if Vinesh Phogat had reached the final by playing according to the rules, she should definitely have got the silver medal, why didn’t she get it?
