Paris, Aug 13 (IANS) The Ad-Hoc Division of the Court of Arbitration For Sport (CAS) has given three more days to the Sole Arbitrator to announce her verdict in Vinesh Phogat's appeal against her disqualification by the IOC and UWW from the women's 50 kg freestyle final for being 100gm overweight in the second-day weigh-in in the Paris Olympics.
Now the verdict will be announced on August 16 (9:30 IST).
