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. Edmonton Oilers Jerseys .

In what looked like a marathon and felt like a sprint, the 48-year-old New Englander went from being a long shot to assuring himself of a tee time at the U.S. Open in just 20 days. Sisk was among 18 players -- the smallest group in more than a decade -- who made it through 18 holes of local qualifying and then 36 holes of sectional qualifying to join Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and the rest of the stars at Merion next week for toughest test in golf. The hard part for Sisk was just getting there. And it gets even more impressive. This was the sixth time he has gone through both stages to qualify for the U.S. Open. "I wish I wouldnt have, to be honest with you," Sisk said while waiting to catch a train from New York to Boston. The chuckle made it clear that he was actually glad that he paid the $150 fee to enter Americas national championship. But it was another reminder how maddening this game can be. Sisk has been a pro for 25 years. He made it to the PGA Tour only one time, for the 1999 season. He has been around long enough to have started on the tours developmental circuit when it was known as the Hogan Tour. "Theres part of me that says, This is great," Sisk said. "The flip side is that if I can do this now -- I performed well -- why cant I do this on the other levels? Im my own worst enemy sometimes. But I just try to do the best I can." There are other stories like Sisks, as always. Mackenzie Hughes didnt make it out of local qualifying -- he was the first alternate. But a spot opened up for him at Old Warson in St. Louis, where he was among 42 players competing for two spots. Hughes went 72-70 and earned the final spot in a playoff. He was so flustered that, when interviewed by Golf Channel after his round, he forgot which state Merion was located. He was on his way to Vancouver to play before the U.S. Open. Lets hope he finds his way. Wil Collins and Ryan Nelson made it through both stages for the second time. But six times? "I think after going to Shinnecock (in 1995 and 2004) and Oakmont (in 2007), I thought these golf courses were too tough for me," Sisk said. "This year, I dont have any status on any tour. Im not playing a lot of tournaments. So I spent the $150 to add a tournament to my very limited schedule. And I added a big one." Sisk shot a 68 at Pinehills Golf Club in Plymouth, Mass., to grab one of the five spots at his local qualifier. He signed up for the New York sectional because it was the closest one to home, and he had rounds of 68-69 at Old Oaks and Century to share medallist honours, making it with two shots to spare. Most of his U.S. Open memoriess are from Shinnecock Hills, where he made his U.dddddddddddd.S. Open debut the year before Woods turned pro. He had played some in South Africa and remembered the tall, athletic kid with an easy swing. So when he saw Ernie Els in the hotel lobby -- Els was the defending champion that year -- he asked for a practice round. "Id had a few cocktails, I asked him and he said, Sure, why dont we play. Mark McNulty was going to join us," Sisk said. "Im not the putting green, and Ernie says, Sisky, you ready? I said, Wheres Mark? And he said he wasnt there, along with a few choice words, and we were ready. Back then, I knew nothing about the U.S. Open. They had a starter on the tee who said, Now teeing off, Geoffrey Sisk and Ernie Els, the 1994 champion. "All of a sudden it goes from two people around us to about 200 on the first tee," he said. "Id never played before so many people in my life." He made it back to Shinnecock in 2004 after both stages of qualifying and was enjoying one of his best Opens, just 5-over going into the final round. Thats the year the course got away from the USGA, particularly the green on the par-3 seventh hole. "I remember hearing a rumour that Kevin Stadler had lipped out a par putt from 2 feet on No. 7 and his ball went into a bunker," Sisk said. "I hit a perfect shot that landed on a ledge and stayed on a ledge. A foot shorter, a foot longer, it would have been dead. I two-putted and never smiled so much over a par. I think I had four or five birdies that day and still shot 82." His next U.S. Open adventure could be a homecoming of sorts for Sisk, who played college golf at Temple until he graduated in 1987. But he doesnt see it that way. It was just another tournament to add to his schedule, another chance to test himself in a championship where he plays his best just to get in. How many more times will he try? Perhaps a more significant question is what keeps a guy going when hes 48 and had made to the big leagues just once? "I always said I would stop playing competitive golf when I did the best I could and things were going backward," he said. The next stop is Merion, though he wasnt in a huge rush to get there. Keegan Bradley, the former PGA champion and another New Englander, sent him a text of congratulations and invited him to fill out a group Sunday that includes Rickie Fowler. While he made it back to the U.S. Open, Sisk knows it will be even tougher the next time. Only five years ago, more than 30 players made it through local and sectional. But golf is getting younger, deeper. "Without a doubt, local qualifying is not easy nowadays," he said. Nonetheless, it still has room for anyone with $150 and a dream. ' ' '
