NADA's big action on Bajrang Punia

Let us tell you that on March 10, selection trials for the international tournament were held in Sonipat. Bajrang Punia lost in this trial. Punia had lost 1-9 to Rohit Kumar in the men's freestyle 65kg semi-finals. Earlier, he had barely managed to register a win against Ravinder. After losing in the semi-finals, Punia immediately left the Sports Authority of India (SAI) center in anger. National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) officials tried to collect Poonia's dope samples but they did not do so, due to which this action was taken.

Bajrang Punia posted this on social media

While sharing a video on social media, Bajrang Punia wrote that I want to clarify about the news coming about me for dope test, I never refused to give the sample to NADA officials, I requested them. That they should first answer me as to what steps they took or what action they took on the expired kit that they had brought to collect my sample and then take my dope test. My lawyer Vidush Singhania will reply to this letter in due course of time.

मेरे बारे में जो डोप टेस्ट के लिए ख़बर आ रही है उसके लिये मैं स्पष्ट करना चाहता हूँ !!! मैंने कभी भी नाडा अधिकारियों को sample देने से इनकार नहीं किया, मैंने उनसे अनुरोध किया कि वे मुझे जवाब दें कि उन्होंने पहले मेरा sample लेने के लिए जो एक्सपायरी किट लाई थी, उस पर उन्होंने क्या… pic.twitter.com/aU676ADyy3
