Wrestling Federation of India to challenge suspension next week

The Wrestling Federation of India will challenge its suspension by the Sports Ministry in court next week. It has also called for an Executive Committee meeting on January 16 to discuss the way forward.

Citing violation of the National Sports Code and the WFI constitution, the government suspended the newly-elected body on December 24, three days after the Federation conducted its election.

The WFI has maintained that it neither accepts the suspension nor recognizes the ad-hoc panel that has been constituted by the IOA to manage the day-to-day affairs of the sport.
