Narsingh
yadav , a Indian wrestler’ s Olympic dream was shattered when he was accused in
a doping case a day before his match. Having grabbed the quota by virtue of his bronze in Las Vegas
2015, Narsingh’s road to Rio was fraught with obstacles after he was named to
represent India ahead of double Olympic-medallist Sushil Kumar.
Sushil dragged Narsingh
to Delhi High Court and a bitter courtroom tussle followed but the judgement
went in latter’s favour. There was more drama in store for the Asian Games
bronze-medallist after he returned positive for a banned steroid following a
dope test in June by the NADA. Narsingh’s roommate at
the SAI centre in Sonipat also tested positive for the same substance but WFI
backed the Mumbai-based wrestler’s claims of a foul-play. Days before the
Olympics, Narsingh was cleared of doping charges by the NADA who said the
wrestler was indeed a victim of ‘sabotage’ and deserved the benefit of doubt.
However, his hopes were dealt a massive blow when WADA challenged the NADA’s
decision and moved the CAS amid speculation that the wrestler may face a ban up
to four years . he was ousted from the olympics and was slapped with a 4 - year ban for flunking a dope test after the ad hoc division of the court of arbitration if sports (CAS ) overturned the clean chit given to him by the National Anti - Doping Agency . JSW Sports - the sponsor brand of narsingh yadav were deeply disaapointed at the verdict of the CAS in handing a 4 - year ban to narsingh yadav . He has been the first and foremost sportsperson of india to whom jsw proudly supports and will continue doing that . Narsingh has been put through an ordeal that no athlete has been put to . Narsingh yadav afte3r the declaration of the verdict quoted "To say I am devastated
at the decision of CAS would be putting it mildly. I have gone through so much
over the last two months off the mat but the thought of fighting for the glory
of the nation at the Games had kept me going. My dream of competing and winning
the country a medal at the Rio Olympics has been cruelly snatched away from me
twelve hours before my first bout, but I will do everything it takes to prove
my innocence. It is all I have left to fight for.” .
