Last month, Baghdouda fled after participating in an international tournament held in Tunisia. 

The delegation of the Egyptian wrestling team in Hammamet, Tunisia, was surprised by the disappearance of the national team player Baghdouda from the delegation’s residence, after being crowned with the silver medal.
