London Olympic bronze medallist wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt on Friday launched a scathing attack on the IOA ad-hoc panel for exempting six protesting wrestlers from Asian Games and World Championship trials.

The IOA ad-hoc panel on Thursday reduced the upcoming Asian Games and World Championship selection to a one-bout competition for six protesting wrestlers - Vinesh Phogat, Bajrang Punia, Sangeeta Phogat, Sakshi Malik, Satyawart Kadian and Jitender Kinha. The wrestlers will now be only required to beat just the winners of the trials to seal their places in the Indian teams for the two prestigious events.
