Indian wrestler Antim Panghal was eliminated from the Paris Olympics and sent back to India due to sister's impersonation attempt.
Indian wrestler Antim Panghal was eliminated from the Paris Olympics after a 0-10 defeat against Turkey's Zeynep Yetgil in the women's 53 kg category. Panghal's sister was caught attempting to impersonate her and gain entry into the Athletes Village using Antim's accreditation card, leading the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) to decide to fly Panghal and her support staff back to India for disciplinary reasons. Despite Antim's initial claim that the situation would be resolved quickly, the IOA took the matter seriously and decided to take the wrestler and her support staff back to India.
