Barely 10 days before the start of the Rio Olympics, India suffered a huge embarrassment as 74-kg freestyle wrestler Narsingh Yadav failed a dope test conducted by National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), a development which has cast doubt on his participation in Rio Games. 
 
National Anti-Doping director general Navin Agarwal confirmed that Narsingh&#39;s &#39;B&#39; sample also tested positive for a banned steroid and he appeared before a NADA disciplinary panel yesterday. 
 
&quot;Yes, he (Narsingh) tested positive for a banned steroid. His B sample was also found to be positive. Narsingh was personally present when his B sample was opened,&quot; Agarwal said today. 
 
&quot;He appeared before a disciplinary panel yesterday. The panel sought for more reports regarding the matter. We will proceed further and I am hoping that the panel will proceed quickly. Till then we will have to wait,&quot; he added. 
 
Asked if Narsingh will miss the Rio Olympics, Agarwal said, &quot;It is too early to comment in that regard. We will try to complete the whole thing quickly. I cannot speculate on that.&quot; 
 
Interestingly, Narsingh was selected for the Rio Olympics in controversial circumstances as double Olympic medallist Sushil Singh had also staked his claim to represent the country in 74-kg freestyle. 
 
But Narsingh was favoured as he had earned the Olympic quota in the World Championships last year. 
 
Narsingh had to fight a lengthy legal battle with two-time Olympics medallist Sushil, also in the same category, to get the chance to compete for India at the Olympics.
