RSPB may be served show-cause notice

A GRECO-ROMAN wrestler employed with Indian Railways was asked to withdraw after winning his first bout at the recently-concluded Senior National Championship in Bengaluru.

He was representing Rajasthan in the tournament. Besides, two Railway wrestlers—both had won the state championship in their respective weight categories—to qualify for nationals—didn't turn up thus forcing Chandigarh to go unrepresented in the event.

These are only a few cases which came to light as the rift between the Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB) and Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had devoid many more wrestlers to take part in the nationals. Paris Olympic bronze medallist Aman Sehrawat is one among them.
