I was going to quit wrestling after the Olympics. I continue my struggle. After all, I am a man who retired from wrestling. We will appeal the decision. In the camp two and a half months before the Olympics, I used a medicine because my ear was ringing. That's why the punishment was given. The medicine doesn't help either. It is not a medicine that gives strength. We will appeal the decision of the Court of Arbitration for International Sport (CAS). My heart is at peace but my brain can't digest it. The sports life of such a career athlete cannot be hindered because of an ear medicine”.
