“There would be no further reinstatement test ahead of his bout. If at all, then Narsingh’s samples may be taken after August 19,” national freestyle wrestling coach Jagminder Singh, who’s accompanying the team here, told PTI.

After being given a clean chit by the National Anti-Doping Agency that concluded that Narsingh was a victim of conspiracy, the 74kg wrestler, whose two samples were found positive, finally boarded the flight to Rio de Janeiro, five days after Rio Games began on August 5.
