“We have full faith in the panel”. The panel will hear the arguments of the Nada representatives on Thursday before giving their verdict.
“At least, we are now sure of sending someone in the event”. If Narsingh is so confident of being clean, I suggest he undertake a narco analysis test. We are very confident.
Earlier in theday, Yadav had filed a police complaint in Sonipat alleging that his foodhad been spiked.
The shot putter has protested his innocence in an interview with the Press Trust of India, where he claimed his supplements and water were sabotaged.
“This is a conspiracy against me”.
“I have been saying since the beginning that a conspiracy was hatched to stop him from Rio Olympics”.
“I believe that there is foul play involved in this entire episode. And one of them has admitted to spiking Narsingh’s food”, he said. Narsingh’s family said they will hold a rally and demonstrate outside Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s office in Varanasi, in case justice was not served to their son. We demand for high-level inquiry into the matter or CBI investigation because it is a big conspiracy by the people who do not want my son to participate in Olympic Games.
The case is the second to involve an Indian Rio 2016 hopeful in the last week, with World Championship bronze medal winning wrestler Narsingh Yadav having allegedly failed for anabolic steroid methandienone. Yadav’s roommate and sparring partner at SAI Sonepat, Sandeep Tulsi Yadav, has also tested positive of the same substance. If Narsingh does not get the green signal from NADA, Parveen Rana has already been named as his replacement.
Freestyle wrestler Rana had earlier won a gold medal in the 74kg category at the Dave Schultz Memorial wrestling tournament in U.S. in 2014.
Goel said that doors are nearly shut for Narsingh and it is time for the conspiracy theories to stop. “How can he make such mistake”, Singh said.
If the “B” sample also tests positive, he will have to miss Rio Games beginning August 5, besides facing the prospect of being banned for four years under the new WADA Code.

The final report would be coming in the next two days, the minister said, adding till then Yadav will remain under provisional suspension. That disturbed many and they were scared that if I could win a medal, they would no longer able to function comfortably. He can also come and get his “B” sample tested within a week’s time,”Agarwal said. There are around 1000 budding athletes are registered under NADA who are always under the eyes of NADA”.
