Wrestling’s world governing body UWW has suspended Bajrang Punia till the end of this year following NADA’s decision to hand him a provisional suspension for refusing to undergo a dope test. However, in a rather surprising decision, the Sports Authority of India (SAI) sanctioned close to R9lakh for his training abroad despite being well aware of NADA’s order.

Bajrang was suspended by NADA on April 23 after being served a whereabouts failure notice on April 18.
