Indian wrestler deported from Paris

According to The Sporting News, Panghal is set to be deported from France after breaching the rules governing the Olympic Village in Paris.

The Olympic Village only allows the athletes participating in the events and their trainers and coaches.

Panghal decided to send her sister to fetch her belongings after the Olympic exit, but the officials caught her on her way out.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) shared an official statement to confirm Panghal's news of deportation from Paris, France.

"The Indian Olympic Association has decided to fly wrestler Antim Panghal and her support staff back after a disciplinary breach was brought to IOA's notice by the French authorities."

There were also reports that Panghal's coaches, Bhagat and Vikas, allegedly refused to pay a cab driver, which led to Police involvement.
