To The Point With Preeti Choudhry: IOA Does The Unthinkable, Distances Itself From Vinesh Phogat

To The Point With Preeti Choudhry: IOA Does The Unthinkable, Distances Itself From Vinesh Phogat

Drawing criticism for Vinesh Phogat's weigh-in fiasco, Indian Olympic Association president PT Usha on Sunday made it clear that it is the responsibility of the athlete to manage their weight and the attack on its medical team, especially Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala is "unacceptable and worthy of condemnation." The 29-year-old Vinesh was left heartbroken after she was disqualified ahead of her gold-medal bout in freestyle 50kg for being 100gm overweight in the morning weigh-in, crushing her Olympic dreams and prompting her to announce her retirement.

Shame on PT Usha. From a highly respected athlete, she has gone down to become just another BJP stooge 😡😡😡

[abrahamsetti]

PT Usha is not an administrator...just a bjp politician

[VamsiKrishna-yzei]

PT. USHA, the greatest indian athlete is the quote heard by me when I am studying 7th class in my high school . Today looking at her twitter posts on our elite athletes when they are protesting and her statements when there is an ongoing case of one of our elite athletes. I say with great despair and frustration that P. T. USHA shouldn't have got to be chair of IOA.

[forefrontgoa]

Sack PT Usha. She is not fit as a chief.

[mohammadusmanbasha]

India at 6, US 126, China 91, Australia 53, Japan 45 medals! Not only any encouragement for the sport people but by direct insulting by allowing dragging Venet in front if the parliament last year, . How sports will cherish in India? It is a shame for the Indian govt in the international sports arena. Modi telling “ Beti Bachao” is only a slogan & hypocrisy but with no words of sympathy and no concern except slogans like “Vishwa Guru” . By all these actions of Modi govt. India is loosing its reputation ….

[sharathkasarla]

PT Usha and her team went there to wipe asses, not for supporting our players

[cherianmanamel]

Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has had the final laugh India can loose their standing by 20 other countries...Bravo to Modi.

[hyt]

IOA disassociation to Vinesh case today proves that Vinesh has lossed the case.
So IOA tries to save its skin in advance. But whom they are making fool.

[jjtom]

PT Usha is a disgrace as an administrator .

[nagarajak]

P.T.USHA IS LOOSING RESPECT FROM ALLCITIZENS IN INDIA,

[roslinkkp]

It is shameful of P T Usha to give such irresponsible statement 🥶 also knowing the hidden agendas behind the scene. It is quite evident, P T Usha is trying to save someone in vain !

[petermelofernandes]

Indian Olympic Association like the sports Minister are extremely defensive.

[mob]

Remove Usha immediately unfit...there are other far better qualified people for the officials are responsibility for everything athletes constrate on training only period....if the athletes have to see to their training, diet etc then why send officials....sight seeing visit the past allegations of abuse in the wrestling federation n past people pulling strings and politics not a suprise ...will the govt act and therest IOC committee should be IS NOT THE ATHLETE FAULT

[mniranjan]

Vinesh fought the criminal mafia of Brijbhushan singh with great strength and courage, she is an inspiration to women of gangs might be successful in their crooked conspiracy attempts but Vinesh won the hearts of all is real champion in sports and real life at all Modi has any sense of shame, he should govt, a national

[Secular]

Feel ashamed to say PT Usha is a Malayali. Shame on you. How can you sink low.

[NarendraKumar-tsbf]

Many youtuber have put big question mark? Saying whole team of rivals conspirators of Vinesh phogat were present at Paris Olympics :- illegal declared wwi chief Sanjay Singh of Brij Bhushan gang & his people, known wrestlers' adversely male looking brij Bhushan friendly PT Usha, neeta, her hospital doctor pardiwala ( as Chief physician for Indian team) and their nutritionist all to cover the deep rooted conspiracy to finish Gold medal girl out of podium.

[tadepalliprasad]

The way IOA president picked up from.woods by this govt ..expressing gratitude and prostrating expected blabber

[rossimurthal]

Dissapointing never expected this from an ex athlete, have some dignity why so scared of Feku, or bhakti of Feku. I don't may be for money u sold ur dignity. U was a respected sportsperson, anyway money wins always. Bitter truth

[yasminfinlay]

I have just read Page 22 of the "Team Leaderws Guide" 5 August to 11 August 2024 of the Paris Olympic for wrestling Competitions - labelled "Wrestling" - it seems the Olympic Officials do a 15 minute weigh in for the second round - I am now certain she was never weighed in at that point and someone would have told the Officials that she was overweight hence unsuitable to wrestle. Had she been weighed she would have been allowed to wrestle because of the 2 kg allowance rule - I am begining to suspect deliberate sabotage by a senior person present - such as by someone who was there and not meant to be there and issueing orders and instructions and hence the staff have also been threatened to keep silent or else! If this is so

[VijayaKumar-mrss]

Let the Court decide.
....IOA you be on the SAFE side.
wrestler has a heart of flesh and blood, don't cut it time and again
