New Delhi, Aug 13: Young wrestler Sonam Malik on Friday responded to the notice she received from the national federation for “misconduct”, conveying that she won’t repeat the mistake even as Vinesh Phogat’s emotional outburst could not cut ice with the sports body.
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had on Tuesday suspended Vinesh for indiscipline on three counts during the Tokyo Olympics and also issued notice to 19-year-old Sonam.
“Sonam has replied to the notice and promised that she won’t repeat it. The federation will soon take a decision on the matter,” a WFI source said.
Vinesh has spoken about the mental trauma she has been going through post her Tokyo Olympics debacle but it seems it has not convinced the WFI. She wrote that she may not return to the mat.
“The federation is awaiting a response to the notice. WFI has nothing to do with what she writes otherwise,” said the source. Vinesh has time till August 16 to respond to WFI. (PTI)
