Rio-bound wrestler Narsingh Pancham Yadav fails doping test: PTI
Later, he was called for his "B" sample test, which also returned positive. "I have never taken any banned substance".
Yadav himself has also alleged a conspiracy against him saying, "This is a conspiracy against me".
"Narsingh was personally present when his B sample was opened", National Anti-Doping Agency director general Navin Agarwal told the Press Trust of India news agency.
Narsingh, who won bronze at the 2015 World Wrestling Championship in the 74kg category, had reportedly failed a dope test and is facing an uncertain future about his Olympic participation. "I know Indian Olympic Association will support me", he added.

"I have been a professional freestyle wrestler for over 15 years and I have undergone nearly 25-30 dope tests. Till then we will have to wait", he added.
"I believe that there is foul play involved in this entire episode".
According to a report in The Tribune, the WFI brought this report to the knowledge of the Sports Ministry, which promptly asked NADA to conduct an urgent hearing into the matter as WFI sensed some conspiracy behind it.
Reports had first emerged in the morning that Narsingh had tested positive for a banned substance.

A report of a fact-finding panel on the alleged 400-crore water tanker scam linked Dikshit to the scam. I have been asked to appear before the ACB under Section 160 of the CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure).
The Sports Ministry confirmed that a wrestler had failed a dope test but it did not name Narsingh, who booked the Rio berth after claiming a bronze medal in the 74 kg category at the World Championships in Las Vegas past year.
Double Olympic medalist Sushil Singh had also staked his claim to represent the country in 74kg freestyle but the sports body selected Yadav for the Rio Olympics in controversial circumstances. "Someone has sabotaged my food supplements and water intake", he said. "I got the news last night that there is inconsistency in the sample given by Narsingh before he left for an invitational tournament in Spain earlier this month", said an official.
"It will be very unfortunate if Narsingh doesn't go to Rio because he is in good form and would have been a strong medal contender".
The 26-year-old wrestler's Olympics accreditation has also been withheld but Narsingh said he is an athlete and he won't do such stuff with Olympics just 11 days away. Narsingh is likely to face an enquiry, after which a decision will be taken on whether to extend his training or dismiss him. "Narsingh has been handed provisional suspension as of now", WFI sources said.
