Indian boxer Vijender Singh has condemned the disqualification of wrestler Vinesh Phogat from the Paris 2024 Olympics, calling it a "conspiracy" against Indian athletes. Phogat, found 150 grams over the weight limit, was barred from her gold medal bout. Singh criticized the decision, stating that Phogat should have been given a chance to shed the excess weight. Phogat’s disqualification means she will leave Paris without a medal, while Sakshi Malik remains India's sole Olympic wrestling medallist.
