How scary it is to find two Rio-bound Indian athletes testing positive for banned drugs and both rejecting the results. Wrestler Narsingh Yadav insists that his food supplements were spiked and so does shotputter Inderjeet Singh, alleging foul play in testing.
Rumours of conspiracy abound, some of them hard to believe and some others are so outlandish they can be rejected straightaway. The onus of proving the charges is on the athletes and they are of conjecture in nature without any fool-proof evidence as of now.
The whole thing got murkier with the bizarre allegation that a SAI official has conspired against Narsingh in collusion with an Olympian. Most wrestlers seem to think that he could not have taken any performance enhancing drug knowingly with the Games round the corner.
