Indian Olympic Association chief PT Usha has come under fire from wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who was disqualified from the women's 50kg gold medal bout at the Paris Olympics due to weighing 100gms over the limit. Phogat accused Usha of clicking photos with her in the hospital and politicizing the issue without offering sufficient support. Usha, a legendary athlete herself, has faced criticism for her handling of the situation, with many questioning the IOA's support system for athletes. The incident has sparked a debate about the role of sports administrators in supporting athletes during times of crisis.
