Career
Despite being tipped to take the gold medal, Abdevali was eliminated in the London 2012 Olympics by French wrestler Steeve Guenot, in what was widely regarded as a controversial decision by the referee. Protest against fouls committed by Guenot was dismissed and ignored by the referees, whereas fouls committed by Abdevali were magnified and penalised. Eventually, Abdevali lost the game 6-9 to his Korean opponent.
