The International Olympic Committee has cancelled Gaidarov's accreditation after a hearing was held in the matter.
Indian wrestler Deepak Punia's foreign coach Murad Gaidarov was on Friday expelled from the Tokyo Olympics for assaulting the referee, who had officiated the bronze medal play-off that the Indian had lost to San Marino's Myles Nazim Amine. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has cancelled Gaidarov's accreditation after a hearing was held in the matter. "Indian wrestling team's foreign assistant coach Mr Murad Gaidarov who was involved in an uncalled incident of assault on one of the match referees, is being withdrawn from the Tokyo Olympic Village immediately and is being called back to India on the latest flight," IOA secretary general Rajeev Mehta tweeted.More Related News
