    Vinesh Phogat Defends Eligibility, Says WADA And ITA Gave Her A Clean Chit

    Senior National Open Ranking Tournament: Vinesh Phogat defended her eligibility on Monday after the Wrestling Federation of India barred her from competing in the Senior National Open Ranking Tournament. She stated that both the International Testing Agency (ITA) and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had cleared her to return to competition on January 1, 2026.

    The former World Championships medallist attended the National Open Ranking Tournament and met with WFI president Sanjay Singh. The federation claimed she could not participate because disciplinary proceedings against her were still ongoing under WADA’s Rule 5.6.1, which applies to retired athletes returning to competition.

    After the meeting, Vinesh told reporters that she had never violated any anti-doping rules and had only missed one whereabouts filing.
