Indian Olympic wrestler Bajrang Punia suspended for four years after refusing a doping test.

Olympic wrestler Bajrang Punia has been suspended for four years by India's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) after refusing to provide a urine sample for a doping test during national team trials. Punia contests the ban, alleging mistrust of NADA's processes and expired testing kits. He also accuses the agency of political bias due to his involvement in protests against the former Wrestling Federation of India president. Despite his claims, NADA maintains that Punia deliberately avoided the test, resulting in the suspension.
