Greco-Roman wrestler Deepak (67kg), who was removed from the Asian Games-bound Indian squad after testing positive for banned substance Clomifene, may travel to Japan after getting a favourable court order.
Taking into account that Deepak was not provisionally suspended for the adverse analytical finding reported by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), the Delhi High Court on Tuesday directed relevant authorities, including the Government, to “consider” Deepak’s name and give “permissible relief” as per existing policy within three days. The wrestling squad is set to leave for Japan on September 26.
The court made it clear that it passed the order solely on the basis of Deepak’s petition.
