As the entire India sheds tears on Vinesh Phogat's disqualification from the Paris Olympic Games, the contingent's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala for the quadrennial event, shed light on the entire weight controversy. Vinesh was set to participate in her gold medal match on Wednesday but she failed the morning weigh-in, as she was overweight by about 100 grams, in the 50kg category. Dr Pardiwala explained that Vinesh's weight gain was higher than expected after she finished her three bouts on Tuesday. But, it couldn't be brought down in time despite extreme efforts.
