Geneva/IBNS: Nearly a week after announcing the verdict on Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat's plea against disqualification from the Paris Olympics 2024 as dismissed, the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) on Monday (August 19) released a full report of the entire proceedings, media reports said.

The CAS explained the terms and conditions of the United World Wrestling (UWW) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in the detailed report.

The CAS, in its preliminary observations, also mentioned that this was a particularly difficult case.

The international body, however, noted that Vinesh Phogat was above the 50 kg limit for her wrestling category when she weighed in for the finals at the Paris Olympics 2024.

"This is a particularly difficult case. The facts are not in dispute: the Applicant was above the 50 kg limit for her wrestling category when she weighed in for the finals at the Paris Olympics. Had she competed, she would have been awarded either the gold or the silver medal. Her success in the competition had led to her being in that position," according to the CAS document.

"The Sole Arbitrator observes that the Athlete entered the field of play and fought and won three rounds and reached the final of the 50 kg wrestling competition at the Paris Olympic Games before she failed the second weigh-in and was ineligible to compete in the final. There is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on her part," the CAS document observed.

Earlier on August 7, Indian wrestler Vinesh Phogat, competing in the women's 50kg freestyle category in the Paris Olympics 2024, was disqualified just before her gold medal bout with the US' Sarah Hildebrandt.

Phogat was given the reason that she weighed 100 grams more than the permissible limit of UWW.

Later in the day, the wrestler appealed against her disqualification at the CAS and sought a silver medal.

On August 8, Phogat announced her retirement from wrestling after being upset with her disqualification.
