Star wrestler Vinesh Phogat`s appeal against her disqualification from the recently-concluded Paris Olympics 2024 final has been rejected by the ad-hoc division of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), the IOA said on Wednesday and lashed out at "inhumane regulations" that fail to consider the "physiological and psychological stresses faced by athletes".
The 29-year-old Vinesh was disqualified for being 100gm overweight at the time of the weigh-in on the morning of the women`s 50kg freestyle final last week.
