Indian dairy brand Amul is famous for its humourous take on current affairs through its posters.
The brand now has a witty take on the doping scandal that has hit India's Rio-bound squad. India's Rio Olympics build-up was rocked by two dope scandals after shot putter Inderjeet Singh and wrestler Narsingh Singh tested positive for a banned substance.

Less than two weeks to go for the 2016 Olympics, and the Indian sporting fraternity was thrown into a frenzy when reports emerged that India's medal prospect wresler Narsingh Yadav had failed a drug test.
Narsingh, who was to compete in the 74kg freestyle category at the Olympics, tested positive for banned steroid Metandienone. Narsingh's hopes of competing in the Olympics seemed bleak on Wednesday after the wrestler failed a second dope test which was conducted on him on July 5.
Rio Olympics-bound shot Inderjeet's 'A' sample taken out of competition on June 22 returned positive for a cocktail of steroids and he was told by NADA to have his 'B' sample tested within seven days, failing which his dope failure will be confirmed.
His sample taken on June 29 during the National Inter-State Athletics Championships in Hyderabad has returned clean but the case relating to his earlier 'A' sample taken on June 22 which came out positive still stands and the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) will proceed on the previous flunk dope test.
