After NADA clearance, Rio Olympics just a step away from Narsingh

New Delhi : National Anti-doping Agency (NADA) gave clearance to Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav on Monday, leading him one-step closer to Rio Olympics. Parent body WADA will now review the decision and give its verdict on whether Yadav will participate in the summer games or not. World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Communications Coordinator Maggie Durand said that it has requested the NADA to send the case file so that it can review it. Parveen Rana will replace Narsingh in 74 kg category if WADA doesn’t allow him in the game.
