Further hearings would be held into the case, the government said in a statement, confirming the positive test but not naming Yadav. Kumar failed to qualify for Rio despite winning bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games and silver in London, both in the 66-kilogram freestyle category. NEW DELHI - Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav has failed a drugs test, the country's anti-doping agency said Sunday, raising doubts about his inclusion in the Olympic squad less than two weeks before the Rio Games begin. A subsequent sample known as a B sample was also found to be positive. But Delhi's High Court last month sided with the International Wrestling Federation which ruled that Yadav, a 2015 world championship bronze medallist, had already qualified.
