WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh has responded to the allegations by female wrestlers of ¡°sexual exploitation and mental harassment¡±.?
¡°The age for delivering the best performance in wrestling is between 22 and 28 years. These wrestlers who are protesting can't win an Olympic medal. This is turning into anger and that is why they are protesting,¡± Singh told ANI.
His statement comes after top wrestlers protested at the Jantar Mantar for the second consecutive day.?
Olympic champion Vinesh Phogat accused Singh of sexual harassment.
?"Is there any person in front who can say that the Federation harassed any athlete. Did they have no problems with the Federation for the past ten years? Issues emerge when new rules and regulations are brought in," he added while speaking to ANI.
Singh also said he would 'hang himself' if he was guilty of sexual harassment.??
