WFI has dropped all four Phogat sisters — Geeta, Babita, Ritu and Sangeeta — from the national camp for the Asian Games.
WFI, which was earlier criticised for going soft on Geeta and Babita despite complaints of indiscipline, has acted tough on the latest act of indiscretion – skipping the national camp in Lucknow made mandatory by the federation to prepare for the Games. All four have been issued show cause notice on Wednesday with the WFI seeking explanation for their latest breach.
