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.
