Olympic medalist and wrestler, Sushil Kumar, had taken to the micro-blogging site on Sunday to vent his anger towards Narsingh Yadav’s doping controversy. He had tweeted that respect should be earned and not demanded.
Narsingh Yadav tested positive for a curious performance enhancing drug, Metadienone, just less than a month ahead of the Rio games. During an interview he said that he had never heard of that drug before and asked why would he try something negative which could misplace his chance at Rio Olympics.
“I am myself shocked after this, it’s a conspiracy against me. CBI probe should be conducted,” said Narsingh. “I am doing so well, why would I even take banned steroids?”
Narsingh also stated that he had talked to the federation about the issue. Narsingh added, “In the mess anyone can mix anything in water or food and give it, I have written all this to the federation.”
“I should be sent to Rio Olympics and hope this will be sorted out soon. I have written to federation, want justice.”

Sushil took to Twitter to post a video of himself related to the ongoing debate. He posted, “Very unfortunate to see the Wrestling go through this. I have given my life to it and will always support fellow wrestlers.”

He also stated that he hoped to compete at the Rio 2016 Olympics to win his third medal. He already has two medals to his names from London 2012 Olympics. Sushil said that he had been away from training for a month now and would support his fellow wrestlers. Given the talent, Indian wrestlers should win medals, he concluded.
