A Greco-Roman wrestler named Deepak is ruled out of the Asian Games after failing a dope test, according to Indian outlets. The development affects India’s participation in the wrestling event for the Games.
Both reports say the Wresting Federation of India (WFI) withdraws Deepak from the Asian Games following the failed test. India Today frames the outcome as a setback for Indian wrestling, while NDTV describes it as an embarrassment and focuses more on the federation’s action to remove him from the squad. The outlets do not provide additional details in the shared text on the substance involved, the testing procedure, or whether Deepak can appeal the decision.
Overall, the reports agree on the central facts: Deepak fails a doping test, and the WFI withdraws him from the Asian Games roster.
