Delhi High Court asks NADA to defend wrestler Bajrang Punia's suspension challenge; hearing set for Oct 16.

The Delhi High Court has requested the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) to respond to a petition from wrestler Bajrang Punia, who is challenging his provisional suspension and a potential four-year ban. Punia argues that the suspension, which stems from his refusal to provide a urine sample, violates testing guidelines and his constitutional rights. The court has scheduled a hearing for October 16 but denied interim relief, potentially affecting his ability to compete in upcoming championships.
