The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has reminded United World Wrestling (UWW) that as per the international body’s rules and the IOC charter, the Indian Olympic Association, “cannot exercise any control” on the newly-elected body, and asked the UWW to immediately lift the provisional suspension it imposed in August last year.
The newly-elected WFI chief Sanjay Singh, whose body was suspended by the sports ministry three days after it came to power and an IOA ad-hoc panel was re-instituted to run the sport, in his letter to UWW president Nenad Lalovic has also said that any influence by the IOA in wrestling should be deemed “illegal” by UWW.
