Now that reports of another athlete, the shot putter Inderjeet Singh, testing positive have emerged, the sense of déjà vu is heavy. A WADA report for 2013 had placed India third in the world in terms of doping offences. World Championship bronze medallist, wrestler Narsingh Yadav, has shaken the Indian sporting community by testing positive for a banned steroid. India wasn’t even a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code until December 2004. If found guilty by the NADA disciplinary panel, the 26-year-old may face a four-year suspension under the anti-doping code.
