It has been a tumultuous several weeks for Narsingh Yadav.  After being named the rep for India at 74kg, he was involved in a battle to get on the team with former Olympic Silver medalist Sushil Kumar.  Yadav tested positive for a banned substance, but charges were dropped by India's anti-doping agency when it was found he was sabotaged.   Yadav weighed in and was ready to wrestle tomorrow.  The Court for Arbitration of Sport, however had a different perspective than India's anti-doping agency.

The Associated Press sent out the following release:

The Court of Arbitration for Sport's anti-doping agency has removed Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav from the Rio Olympics and given him a four-year suspension.

Yadav had originally escaped a ban over two positive tests earlier this year for the banned substance methandienone after India's national anti-doping agency accepted his explanation that his food or drink had been tampered with.

However, the World Anti-Doping Agency disagreed and filed an appeal to CAS, which ruled that there was "no evidence" to support Yadav's claim of sabotage.
Yadav had been due to compete Friday in the men's 74-kilogram freestyle class.
