Narsingh Yadav’s supporters started celebrating after hearing the verdict outside NADA office.

Narsingh Yadav has been exonerated from all doping charges levelled against him today. National Anti-doping Agency (NADA) announced the much-awaited verdict on Narsingh’s doping case. NADA’s discipinary panel said that they were of the opinion that one time ingestion by NarsinghYadav was not within his knowledge and strengthened his claim.

NADA panel also said that it was impossible for an athlete to keep a watch on drinks and that could not be regarded as a failure on the athlete’s part. “There is no fault & negligence on #NarsinghYadav’s part, he is a victim of sabotage done by a competitor,” said the NADA panel.

The verdict meant that Narsingh would now be able to participate in the Rio 2016 Olympics.

So #NarsinghYadav has just cleared a hurdle. There should be another test done on him before his competition. Only then WADA can let him in
