WFI Suspends Olympic Bronze Medallist Aman Sehrawat for One Year Over Weight Violation

The federation imposed the penalty after rejecting his explanation to a show-cause notice.

Overview

  • He was disqualified at the Senior World Championships in Zagreb after weighing 1.7 kg over the 57 kg limit and forfeited his opening bout.
  • The ban took effect on September 23 and bars him from all WFI-sanctioned activities until September 2026, which could affect his 2026 Asian Games prospects.
  • WFI said he joined a preparatory camp in Porec on August 25 and had sufficient time to manage weight before the September competition.
  • The disciplinary committee found his response unsatisfactory, while the chief coach and other staff were questioned and issued warnings over monitoring lapses.
  • Sehrawat said a sudden stomach problem disrupted his planned weight cut and stated he will ask WFI to revoke the suspension.
