Wrestler Ravinder Kumar fails dope test, banned for 4 years by NADA

Indian wrestler Ravinder Kumar was on Friday banned for four years for failing a dope test but the National Anti-Doping Agency created confusion by identifying him as a world silver medallist which was not the case.

In a statement posted on its social media page, the NADA said that the wrestler caught for doping had won a silver at the Under-23 World Championships last year, but it later turned out to be a wrong attribution as he has not won such a medal.

It was Ravinder Dahiya who had won a silver medal in the World Championships last year. Ravinder Dahiya said he had not been tested by the NADA.
