After being cleared by National Anti-Doping Agency on Monday, wrestler Narsingh Yadav met Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday in New Delhi. According to a report in The Indian Express, after meeting the Prime Minister, Narsingh said that PM Modi told him to perform better and their would never be injustice done to him.
“Unhone aashirwaad diya, kaha ki aur achcha kariye,aapke saath kabhi anyaye nhi hoga (He wished me luck and said that you perform and there will never be injustice done to you),” Narsingh said.
He also thanked Modi, who intervened in solving the matter speedily, says a NDTV.com report.
"I am grateful to the Prime Minister, Sports Ministry, Wrestling Federation of India and media for supporting and having faith in me and standing by the truth," Narsingh said.
Narsingh, who bagged the quota with a bronze medal finish in last year's World Championships, first returned positive for a banned steroid after a dope test conducted by the NADA on June 25. The wrestler's 'B' sample also tested positive for a banned substance, jeopardising his chances of competing in what would have been his second Olympics. Following this, Narsingh was handed a provisional suspension.
