Narsingh Yadav, the wrestler under a dope cloud, arrives for the NADA hearing. His supporters chant his name and demand a CBI enquiry. The National Anti Doping Agency disciplinary panel hearing will determine if Narsingh can compete in the Olympic Games starting in Rio on August 5. The 26-year-old wrestler has been accused of taking an anabolic steroid, metadienone, and is under provisional suspension.

Yadav's hopes of competing in the Rio Olympics appeared bleak after he failed a second dope test, which was conducted on his samples on July 5.

It is learned that the wrestler, already under provisional suspension for failing a June 25 dope test, also flunked the second test done on his 'A' and 'B' samples that were taken on July 5.

"It's the same substance that was found in the first test. It was unlikely that it would go out of the system," a Wrestling Federation of Indian source said, referring to the banned anabolic steroid, methandienone.

Narsingh is claiming that he has been framed in the scandal by rivals, who, he alleged, spiked his food supplements and meals.
