In a significant development that has sent shockwaves through Indian wrestling circles, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has taken decisive action against Greco-Roman wrestler Sanjeev, suspending him indefinitely over serious discrepancies in his domicile and identity documents.
The Suspension Order
The WFI issued an official suspension notice citing "major differences" in the wrestler's domicile certificate and other identity proofs. This disciplinary measure comes after preliminary investigations raised red flags about the authenticity of documents submitted by the athlete.
Investigation Underway
According to federation sources, a thorough investigation has been launched to verify the legitimacy of Sanjeev's claims and documents. The suspension will remain in effect until the probe is completed and a final decision is reached regarding his eligibility to represent various states and participate in national competitions.
Impact on Wrestling Career
This suspension deals a significant blow to Sanjeev's wrestling career, potentially affecting his participation in upcoming national championships and selection trials. The Greco-Roman wrestler, who has been active in the national circuit, now faces an uncertain future in the sport until the matter is resolved.
WFI's Zero-Tolerance Stance
The federation's action underscores its commitment to maintaining integrity in wrestling. This move demonstrates WFI's zero-tolerance policy toward any form of document manipulation or misrepresentation, sending a clear message to all athletes about the importance of transparency and honesty in sports.
The wrestling community awaits the outcome of the investigation, which will determine whether Sanjeev can resume his career or face more severe consequences for the alleged discrepancies.
