Narsingh Yadav sets sight for world championships as his 4-year ban nears end

By   - 06/07/2020

Narsingh Yadav will probably be most benefited amongst Indian wrestlers if the world championships are held this year. The Uttar Pradesh wrestler is serving a four-year dope ban which will end by the end of July. The announcement for the possible world championships in December has come like a silver lining for the wrestler. “It is good. Yes, it is true that I have not competed in any international competition but I have been training every day. I think I am ready,” said the 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist.

The 30-year-old claim to fame was an infamous one. Back in 2016, he and double Olympic-medallist Sushil Kumar were engaged in bitter and controversial court-battle, with vying for the 74kg category spot in the Indian team at the Rio Olympics. Back then, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had put their trust in Yadav, who had sealed the berth by winning a bronze medal at the 2015 worlds in Las Vegas. However, in the eleventh hour, he tested positive in two separate anti-doping tests for methandienone. Cleared by National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) had decided to hand him a four-year ban.

It has been a long time since that event and now Narsingh has set sight for the world championships which are scheduled to be held in Serbia from December 12 to 20. Just like in 2016, the veteran wrestler will put his trust in WFI to help him make a successful comeback. “Once ban ends, will talk to the federation to include me if they are holding the nationals camp”. He, however, is not banking too much on the national camp to resume training and has moved out of Mumbai to polish his skills. “I am training at an local akhada outside Mumbai. I moved out of the city as conditions there are bad. It is the same in Delhi and the surrounding area so, I don’t really think camp would be held. Therefore, I am doing my own mat and individual training,” he added.
