Vinesh Phogat signalled her intent to fight back after the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) issued a detailed show-cause notice against her, accusing the star wrestler of indiscipline and anti-doping rule violations while declaring her ineligible to compete in domestic tournaments until June 26. 

“Life is caught in some deep whirlpool’s midst. The world seeks flaws in my character, persists.. Life has always held your head held high. No sword has the power to make it bow.!!!,” Vinesh posted on social media in Hindi, indicating her determination to continue the battle despite the setback.
