Olympic medal-winning wrestler Bajrang Punia, suspended for four years on Tuesday due to his refusal to provide samples for a dope test, said his ban will be quashed if he joins the ruling BJP. The National Anti-Doping Agency had first suspended Bajrang on April 23 for his refusal to give samples for the dope test in March. Following NADA’s suspension, the sport’s world governing body UWW also slapped him with a suspension. However, NADA’s Anti-Disciplinary Doping Panel (ADDP) revoked his ban in May. NADA served a fresh notice to Bajrang NADA for a dope test and accused him of refusing the test. Bajrang, however, challenged the charge on July 11 in a written submission following which hearings were held on September 20 and October 4. Following this, the 30-year-old wrestler was suspended again. यह चार साल का प्रतिबंध मेरे खिलाफ व्यक्तिगत द्वेष और राजनीतिक साजिश का परिणाम है। मेरे खिलाफ यह कार्रवाई उस आंदोलन का बदला लेने के लिए की गई है, जो हमने महिला पहलवानों के समर्थन में चलाया था। उस आंदोलन में हमने …
