She was upset about her coach and physio not being recognized. She had made several requests for recognition of both of them, but no one listened to them. After this, she made her problem public through this post.
Vinesh Phogat fell ill after being eliminated from the final match. After that Indian Olympic Association President PT Usha met her.
Now read here why Vinesh had posted this…
Before the Olympics in Paris, the Asian Olympic qualifying tournament was to be held on 19 April, for which they had to get their coach and physio recognized. For this, they made a request to the Central Government, SAI, TOPS, but the coach and physio were not recognized. Without recognition, it is very difficult for a player to participate in that qualifying tournament.
Vinesh said 3 important things in the post…
1. Posted 8 days before the qualifying tournament
Vinesh wrote in her post on April 12, “The Asian Olympic qualifying tournament is going to start on April 19. For the last one month, I have been requesting the Government of India (SAI, TOPS) for the accreditation of my coach and physio. Without accreditation, it is not possible for my coach and physio to accompany me to the competition arena. But despite repeated requests, I am not getting any concrete answer from anywhere. No one is ready to help. Will the future of players always be played with like this?
2. Many allegations were made against Brij Bhushan
Vinesh Phogat had made several allegations against Brij Bhushan in her post. She wrote, “Brij Bhushan and his dummy Sanjay Singh are trying every way to stop me from playing in the Olympics. The coaches appointed with the team are all favourites of Brij Bhushan and his team, so it cannot be denied that they might mix something in my water and make me drink it during my match.
If I say that there could be a conspiracy to trap me in doping, it will not be wrong. No stone is being left unturned to harass us mentally.
3. Competition was told it was very important
Vinesh had also written that, ‘How far is it justified to torture us like this before such an important competition. Will there be politics with us even before we go to play for the country because we raised our voice against sexual harassment?? Is this the punishment for raising voice against wrong in our country? I hope we will get justice before we go to play for the country.. Jai Hind.
