The man who could have possibly 'spiked' wrestler Narsingh Yadav's food supplements has been identified.

The cook at Sports Authority of India (SAI), Sonepat training centre has identified the man who had allegedly tampered with the dope-tainted wrestler's food as the brother of an international wrestler in the super-heavyweight category.

He allegedly infiltrated Narsingh's room at SAI and contaminated his food supplements.

Narsingh filed an FIR against the intruder at the Sonepat police station. 

Olympic medal winning wrestler Yogeshwar Dutt joined the chorus of support for Narsingh, caught in a dope scandal, saying that the matter should be investigated thoroughly

Narsingh's dope test came positive barely 10 days before the start of the Olympics and he cried foul, saying it was a conspiracy against him.

Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) also strongly put its weight behind the 26-year-old grappler, insisting that it was a clear case of sabotage.
