Overview

• The suspension bars Sehrawat from all WFI-sanctioned national and international activities until September 2026.
• At the Zagreb Worlds, he was 1.7 kg over the 57 kg limit on the morning of his weigh-in and forfeited his bout.
• A five-member committee reviewed his explanation and coaching clarifications, deeming them inadequate after noting he had reported to a preparatory camp in Porec on August 25.
• WFI warned the chief coach and support staff and signaled tighter oversight following recent weight-management cases involving Vinesh Phogat and Neha Sangwan.
• Sehrawat says a sudden stomach issue derailed his weight cut and he plans to ask WFI to revoke the ban, which could jeopardize his participation in the 2026 Asian Games.
