Man loses job due to cauliflower ears
(Archives India -- wrestling articles)
An Indian wrestler claims he was rejected for a job in the police because of his "abnormal" ears.
Ashok Kumar from Chandigarh said because his ears were out of shape, he was declared unfit for the job in the Central Reserve Police Force.
Mr Kumar wrote to authorities claiming undue harassment at the hands of doctors, even though he'd cleared all preliminary medical tests.
He also said "a deliberate attempt" was being made to keep him out of the job. Mr Kumar said it was normal for ears to lose shape with excessive wrestling.
According to The Tribune newspaper, wrestling experts also said it was quite common for wrestlers to lose the shape of their ears.
