Narsingh’s dream of representing India at Rio could now come true after the NADA panel gave him a clean chit in the doping case, calling him a “victim of sabotage”.
Earlier, Narsingh, who bagged the quota with a bronze medal finish in last year’s World Championships, was preferred ahead of Sushil Kumar to take part in Rio Games, which fuelled a major legal battle between the two grapplers.
Sushil, however, took to Twitter to congratulate the Mumbai-based wrestler.
“Bahut khushi ki baat hai. Mera support pehle bhi tha aaj bhi hai aur aage bhi rahega. Go win for me and the country #NarsinghYadav. (I am very happy with the verdict. I have always supported him and will continue to do so),” Sushil tweeted.
The 24-year-old’s doors to Rio opened after NADA Director General Navin Agarwal said Narsingh was a “victim of sabotage”.
