Former Commonwealth Games gold-medallist Narsingh Pancham Yadav was elected chairman of the Wrestling Federation of India’s (WFI) Athletes’ Commission on Wednesday, completing a mandated process. The polls, conducted on ballot paper, saw a total of eight candidates vying for seven positions. Narsingh’s election is significant given his previous involvement in a controversial doping case in the lead-up to the 2016 Olympics. However, he has maintained that the incident was a case of sabotage. Other elected members of the athletes’ commission include Sahil (Delhi), Smitha AS (Kerala), Bharti Bhaghei (UP), Khushboo S Pawar (Gujarat), Nikki (Haryana), and Sweta Dubey (Bengal).
