The 22-year-old wrestler, who was a key contender in the men\u2019s freestyle 57kg category, was disqualified from the competition after weighing in at 1.7 kg over the limit.<\/p>\n<p>In an official letter to Aman, the WFI stated that the suspension applies to all wrestling-related activities at both national and international levels. It is effective immediately from the date of the notice. &#8220;This decision is final and binding,&#8221; the letter emphasized, stating that Aman could not participate in any WFI-sanctioned events during his suspension.<\/p>\n<p>On September 23, 2025, the WFI had previously issued a notice asking Aman to explain his failure to meet the weight requirement. However, after reviewing Aman&#8217;s response, the WFI\u2019s Disciplinary Committee found it unsatisfactory. They clarified that input from the Chief Coach and other coaching staff was considered before making their decision.<\/p>\n<p>The federation pointed to issues of discipline and professionalism, particularly noting Aman&#8217;s status as an Olympic medalist, which brings high expectations in terms of conduct. They highlighted that Aman had ample time to prepare for the event, having attended a training camp in Croatia starting August 25, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The WFI expressed disappointment, stating, &#8220;Your failure to manage your weight not only affects your credibility but also reflects poorly on the country, disappointing fans and impacting the wrestling community.&#8221; They also mentioned that this situation deprived India of a medal opportunity and resulted in significant financial implications due to expenses incurred during his training and participation.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside Aman&#8217;s suspension, Chief Coach Jagmander Singh and three other coaching staff members have been asked to provide explanations regarding their role in monitoring Aman&#8217;s weight leading up to the championships.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aman Sehrawat Suspended for One Year by Wrestling Federation of India The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has announced a one-year suspension for Paris Olympics bronze medalist Aman Sehrawat due to a serious lapse in weight management during the Senior World Championships.
