Did Sushil Kumar bite his rival’s ears en route to the final of the Olympic Games wrestling event?
Akshurek Tanatarov, Sushil’s semifinal rival, complained to the referee bitterly about it. He had a bleeding ear to show as evidence but the official wasn’t convinced.
Television pictures showed Sushil’s face close to the Kazakh’s ear but they were not conclusive and in the end, the Indian was a deserving winner after lifting his rival and bringing him down on the mat.
