India's two-time Olympic medalist Sushil Kumar this morning extended his support to fellow 74 kg wrestler Narsingh Yadav, who was handed a four-year ban for doping violation after the CAS hearing claimed he could not prove the theory of sabotage. “I’m saddened to hear about the ban on Narsingh. I am with him in this difficult hour,” Sushil told a TV channel.
