World wrestling body clears Narsingh Yadav for Rio Olympics
Reports quoted Wrestling Federation of India of India president Brij Bhushan Charan Singh as havig confirmed UWW's decision.
Brij Bhushan said the WFI had re-sent Narsingh's name to UWW as India representative in 74 kg category after the National Anti-Doping Agency cleared the wrestler of doping charges on Monday.
The WFI had sent wrestler Praveen Rana's name as a replacement of Narsingh, who was embroiled in a dope controversy.
Narsingh, who had earned an Olympic berth with a bronze medal in last year's World Championships, was provisionally suspended after he was tested positive for a banned substance Methandienone.
However, in a dramatic turnaround, NADA later gave him a clean chit. Narsingh alleged that his food had been spiked as part of a conspiracy against him.
