Mumbai, July 25 (Reuters): Narsingh Yadav has claimed his supplements and water had been “sabotaged” after the wrestler, due to represent his country in the 74kg category at next month's Rio Games, tested positive for a banned steroid. The 26-year-old's samples from an out-of-competition test returned positive and the wrestler attended a hearing to present his case before an anti-doping disciplinary panel on Saturday. “I believe that there is foul play involved in this entire episode,” said Narsingh, who won gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi. “I have come out clean every time and never have any of my samples returned positive results,” he said in a statement. Last month, the Delhi High Court ruled against Kumar, the only Indian athlete to win two individual Olympic medals, clearing the way for Narsingh to compete in Rio.
