After wrestler Narsingh, Rio-bound shot putter Inderjeet Singh tests positive in dope test
Singh’s ‘A’ sample returned positive for a banned substance in the test that was conducted on June 22.
The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), India’s anti-doping agency, has given the Haryana athlete a week to get another test done.
,If his second sample is also found to be positive, he may be banned for four years under new World Anti-Doping Agency code.
The 28-year-old said on Tuesday there was a conspiracy against him for being critical of the authorities.
Singh qualified for the Rio Olympics with a personal best throw of 20.65m at the 19th Federation Cup held last year.
