When an athlete reaches his lowest ebb, there's only one direction to go...upwards. And wrestler Narsingh Yadav is ready to rise. The 2015 World Championships bronze medal-winning grappler is all set to return to competitive wrestling with his four-year dope ban ending this July, offering him an opportunity to aim for the Tokyo Olympics that have been postponed to next year due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

However, a lot has happened since August 2016, when Yadav, a 2010 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency hours before his Rio Olympics bout. Only a few days earlier, the National Anti-Doping Agency had cleared him of all dope charges, accepting his claims of sabotage.
