For missing weight, which is common in combat sports. Aman won bronze in Paris and is one of our best prospects in LA28.  Set to miss Asian Games next year due to this ban. 

 

‘I am embarrassed about it’: How a stomach ache led to Aman Sehrawat getting suspended by Wrestling Federation of India

 

Neha Sangwan another young kid slapped with 2 years ban for weight management issues (she was 600 grams overweight in one event). 

 

Wrestler Neha Sangwan suspended for failing to make weight at U20 World Championships, dropped from senior Worlds squad

 

More such harsh suspensions/bans, you can search. 

 

In a sport like wrestling where top athletes have a very short peak, say 2 Olympic cycles, is it fair to ban them for 2 years? Missing weight is not like doping, work with the athletes and help them out. Aman for instance made an honest mistake when he wasn't feeling well. @randomGuy @New guy @Lord @Lone Wolf

 

WFI is headed by Sanjay Singh , a lackey (and business partner) of the infamous Brij Bhushan Who is Sanjay Singh? All you need to know about new WFI chief and Brij Bhushan's aide 

 

These officials have such big egos, that takes precedence over country's interests. Indian wrestling has so much potential, has been our most consistent sport in Olympics since 2008 Beijing, despite WFI.

Too harsh. Wrestling is a tough sport as it is n coming through Indian competition and then having to face administration is sad. administration should instead be supportive.
