Controversy

Wrestling

India earned one quota place in freestyle 74 KG category by winning a bronze medal in world wrestling championship 2015 by wrestler Narsingh Yadav. Indian wrestling federation named Narsingh Yadav in the same category for rio Olympics. Later wrestler Sushil Kumar who also play in same category demand a trial competition against Narsingh Yadav so the winner could qualify for the rio Olympics but Indian wrestling federation refused his appeal. Sushil moved to the Delhi high court to demand a trial competition. The Delhi High Court on dismissed a plea by Olympic medal winner Sushil Kumar, seeking trials in the 74 kg free style wrestling to enable him win a berth in the Indian squad to the Rio Olympics.^[28] Later Narsingh Yadav’s dope test taken by NADA found positive. Narsingh claimed that he was a victim of sabotage. Yadav’s B-sample also returned a positive result and he failed to prove his innocence to NADA. In the meanwhile, the Indian Olympic Association requested the world governing body of wrestling, United World Wrestling, to provisionally replace Yadav with Parveen Rana.^[29]
