Narsingh Yadav, Indias representative in the 74-kg category at the Rio Olympics, has failed a drugs test, Indias National Anti-Doping Agency said on Sunday. His participation at the Games is in doubt, with NADA director-general Navin Agarwal telling PTI, It is too early to comment in that regard. We will try to complete the whole thing quickly. I cannot speculate on that.NADA will now hear the matter on Wednesday.?The details of the drug test will only be revealed upon the end of the appeals process, as per the NADA protocol. It is however understood that the alleged substance Narsingh has tested positive for is the S1. anabolic agent methyldienolone, which is known to lead to an increase in muscle and weight. It is a choice of substance found more often in the positive tests of weightlifters.According to a source, this was extremely surprising as wrestlers are looking to lose weight so close to a major competition as they have to ensure they stay within their weight requirements for the category they are competing in.?Agarwal said Narsinghs B sample had also tested positive for a banned steroid and he appeared before a NADA disciplinary panel on Saturday. He appeared before a disciplinary panel yesterday, Singh said. The panel sought more reports regarding the matter. We will proceed further and I am hoping that the panel will proceed quickly. Til then we will have to wait, he added.We are shocked and surprised, Mustafa Ghouse, CEO of JSW Sports who have supported Narsingh for the last two and a half years, told ESPN. We have been working closely with the authorities since we got to know of this a few days back. It doesnt add up, we have been working with him for way too long to know that. We fully support him and are confident that the Wrestling Federation and the Sports Authority of India will find a solution.Narsinghs Olympic journey had been under controversial circumstances, including a public and bitter spat with double Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, who was the other contender for the sole spot in the 74kg freestyle category. Narsingh was favoured as he had earned the Olympic quota in the World Championships last year.The PTI report also quoted the Sports Ministry as confirming a failed dope test, though it didnt mention names. One wrestler has been detected by NADA as dope-positive. An Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ADDP) has been constituted by NADA under its rules for hearing the case. Its first hearing was held yesterday in which the wrestler was given an opportunity to defend himself, the Ministry said.After the hearing, the panel has asked NADA for some further reports. After these reports are received, the panel would hold further hearing in the matter. ADDP is headed by a legal expert and includes doctors and sportspersons. NADA is an autonomous body under the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports to check doping in sports.After the WFIs decision to pick Narsingh ahead of Sushil Kumar in the Olympics squad, the latter had launched a plea in the Delhi High Court in May. However, the courts refusal to intervene had virtually cleared Narsinghs path to Rio. In June, he even participated in the Spanish Grand Prix Wrestling championship in Madrid, where he bagged a bronze. Charles Barkley Jersey .

Englands tour of India is unlikely to be disrupted by the hurdles the BCCI faces in signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the ECB. Officials from both boards confirmed there has been no change to their preparations ahead of the series, which starts in Rajkot on November 9.The state associations hosting the five Tests - Saurashtra, Punjab, Andhra, Mumbai and Tamil Nadu - also said they did not foresee any difficulty as long as the England teams hotel costs, airfare and the daily allowance are taken care of. A representative from one state association even said they would be happy to foot the hotel bill should it come to that.Alastair Cooks squad had landed in Mumbai on Wednesday, but doubts emerged over whether the series would take place after email exchanges between the BCCI and the Lodha Committee revealed that an MoU had not been signed yet.According to an order passed by the Supreme Court of India on October 21, all contracts that the BCCI enters into have to be cleared by the Lodha Committee, which was appointed by the court to suggest changes to the way the board functions. Matters directly related to cricket though are beyond the Committees remit, which was why they had asked the BCCI for more information before giving their approval for the MoUs signing. On Thursday evening, BCCI secretary Ajay Shirke sent a copy of the blank MoU to the Lodha Committee without mentioning any specifics.To work around the problem, Shirke wrote to Phil Neale, Englands operations manager, on Thursday asking the ECB to pay for its own expenses until further updates. We are already in India, there is no change to any plans and we are looking forward to the series against India, an ECB spokesperson said.A top BCCI official said the board already had contracts in place with the hotels that England would be staying at and, as such, lodging expenses shouldnt prove a problem. The main issue is their daily allowance has to be cleared. Ultimately it is a large amount, the official said. The daily allowance is in the range of GBP 50-75. The England contingent strength is about 30 including the players and support staff. The BCCI will need to calculate the daily allowance for roughly 50 days for the Test series, and that amount will need to be ratified by the committee before the Indian board disburses the amount to ECB.The BCCI official also said the MoU could be signed once the series starts. In letter and spirit, we caant sign it right now because it is part of the list we sent to the Lodha Committee, the official said.dddddddddddd. Unless and until they revert we cant sign something that we have referred to them. (But) ultimately we hope it will get signed.In the interim order delivered on October 21, the Supreme Court asked the BCCI to stop distributing funds to its state associations until they instituted the reforms the Lodha Committee had suggested in January.But the state associations that will host the five Tests said they have no trouble taking on routine costs in the course of the matches and can provide security and in-ground hospitality for the England team if the BCCI finds a way to take on the tourists hotel charges and daily allowances.Niranjan Shah, secretary of Saurashtra Cricket Association, said he saw no threat to Rajkots first-ever Test in under a weeks time. All the preparations, he said, were going on as scheduled, and even added that if SCA has to pay for lodging, it will.Punjab Cricket Association, that will host the third Test, in Mohali, is also going ahead with its preparations. Will PCA do the match? Yes, PCA will, the secretary MP Pandove said. Will PCA pay for the expenses? Yes, PCA will pay for the expenses it is required to pay for. To get the teams here, to pay for their hotels, to pay their daily allowance, that is BCCIs job. All ground hospitality, all local transport, traffic control, all staging costs, that is our responsibility. That has been the understanding for years now.Tamil Nadu Cricket Association, which will host the final Test of series in Chennai, will finalise its plan at an executive meeting on November 7. We will meet only those expenses that the states have to pay, a TNCA official said. Payments concerning daily allowances, airfare, hotel bills have to be met by the BCCI. We will take care of ground expenses and team security.Mumbai Cricket Association, hosting the fourth Test of the series, has said it is ready to host the match, following its managing committee meeting on Friday. Andhra Cricket Association secretary G Ganga Raju, who is also one of the five BCCI vice-presidents, has said the association has enough funds to host England for the second Test, in Visakhapatnam.With additional reporting from Sidharth Monga and George Dobell ' ' '
