Wrestler Antim Panghalis likely to be banned for three years by IOA for indiscipline during Olympic Games, source close to Indian contingent informed.

Sources told PTI, Panghal tried to facilitate her sister’s entry into the athletes village through her accreditation card, which caused embarrassment to the Indian Olympic. Due to this act, the wrestler will be banned for three years by the IOA. 

“The decision will be formally announced after she reaches India,” the contingent source said.

The Indian Olympic Association decided to send her and her support staff back after the disciplinary breach was brought to its notice by the French authorities.

“Her sister was caught for impersonation and was taken to a police station to record her statement,” a source had revealed last night.

Panghal had crashed out of the Olympics after losing her opening bout in the women’s 53kg category on Wednesday.
