Rio bound shot putter Inderjeet Singh fails dope test: NADA

Rio-bound shot putter Inderjeet Singh became the second athlete to test positive for a banned substance.
•    He was caught using a banned steroid in an out-of-competition test on June 22. Sources said it was a "fancy-sounding" drug though the name could not be ascertained.
•    Gold-medallist in the Asian championships, Asian Grand Prix and the World University Games last year, Inderjeet was the first Indian athlete to qualify for Rio.
•    Inderjeet had been registered by NADA for its testing pool and he was "avoiding" getting tested by the agency. 
•    Inderjeet returned from the US in the summer and participated in the Indian Grand Prix in the capital in April where he finished a fault-ridden second. 
•    Though he struggled with a shoulder injury and loss of form in recent times, but still he was considered a potential finalist in the Rio Olympics.
