CAS Bans Wrestler Narsingh Yadav for 4 Years

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) had appealed against the NADA clean chit given to Narsingh at CAS, three days ahead of his scheduled opening bout at the Olympics.
 Narsingh returned positive for a banned steroid following a dope test in June by the NADA.
But Narsingh was cleared of doping charges by the NADA who said the wrestler was a victim of 'sabotage' and deserved the benefit of doubt.

Nada said Narsingh Yadav is not guilty.
Wada filed appeal in this case and now  Wada won the appeal.

Court for Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upholding the World Anti-Doping Agency`s (WADA) appeal against the clean chit given to Wrestler Narsingh Yadav in a doping violation case slapped a 4 year ban also.

The ad hoc division of the CAS, which met here on Thursday to hear the WADA`s appeal against the clearance to Narsingh by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) also slapped a four-year ban on the Mumbai wrestler.

CAS in a statement said following, "WADA filed an urgent application before the CAS ad hoc Division to challenge the decision of NADA India to exonerate Narsingh Yadav following two positive anti-doping tests with methandienone on June 25 and July 5. The athlete asserted that he was the victim of sabotage (food/drink tampering) by another person. WADA requested that a four-year period of ineligibility be imposed on the athlete,"
The CAS panel did not accept the argument of the athlete that he was the victim of sabotage and noted that there was no evidence that he bore no fault, nor that the anti-doping rule violation was not intentional. Therefore, the standard four-year period of ineligibility was imposed by the panel,"
