NADA verdict on Wrestler Narsingh Yadav likely by 6 pm

TIL Desk Sports/ NADA verdict on wrestler Narsingh Yadav likely to come at 6 pm today. After the conclusion of the two-day hearing on Narsingh’s dope positive case on Thursday, the NADA counsel had said that the verdict would come either 30 July or on 1 August.

“We have not been told when the verdict will come. It may be tomorrow or Monday but we don’t know when,” a Wrestling Federation of Indian source said, adding, “There is a 50-50 chance that he might be let off with a warning or may be handed a ban by the NADA disciplinary panel.”

As per the revised NADA Code of 2015, the maximum sanction for a first-time offence is four years. Narsingh’s lawyers had presented their case on Wednesday, arguing that there was a conspiracy against the grappler while the NADA’s legal team gave its arguments against the sabotage theory before the disciplinary panel on Thursday.
