New Delhi: Shortly after being cleared of doping charges at a National Anti-Doping Agency panel hearing, freestyle wrestler Narsingh Yadav on Tuesday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who asked him to “focus on the Olympics and bring laurels to the country”.
“The Prime Minister gave his best wishes and asked me to be carefree and participate in the Olympics without any tension. He asked me to focus on winning medals for the country. He also assured me that no injustice will be done to me,” Narsingh said after the meeting at the PM’s office in Parliament House.
Meanwhile, the World Anti-Doping Agency said that it has requested the Nada to send the case file so that it can review it. The wrestler earlier had to win a legal battle against two-time Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar to be able to participate in Rio before being engulfed in the doping fiasco. Narsingh said he wanted to leave behind the controversy and focus on winning a medal at the Games.
