The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) rejected Vinesh Phogat's petition for a joint silver medal in the 2024 Olympics. The operative part of the decision has been released, with the detailed order expected at a later time. Phogat's plea against her shocking Olympic disqualification was accepted by the ad hoc panel of the CAS in Paris on 8 August. Initially, the hearing was scheduled for 9 August at 10 am local time but postponed to 2 pm local time when the matter was officially referred to the Sole Arbitrator, Dr Annabelle Bennett AC SC (AUS). In a rather peculiar turn of events, the verdict was delayed many times, finally seeing the light of day on 14 August.
