The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has indefinitely suspended wrestler Bajrang Punia, potentially jeopardizing his Paris Olympics bid. Punia failed to provide his urine sample for selection trials, prompting NADA's action. The suspension comes amidst allegations of sexual harassment against former BJP MP and Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Punia's suspension could bar him from upcoming selection trials, with Sujeet Kalkal set to represent India at the World Qualifiers in Istanbul. Punia's refusal to comply with doping protocols has drawn scrutiny, with a deadline set for his written justification.
