Indian wrestler Narsingh Yadav has failed a drugs test, the country's anti-doping agency said Sunday.

Yadav has qualified for the Rio Olympics in the 74kg freestyle category, but tested positive for a banned steroid during routine testing. A subsequent sample was also found to be positive, according to India's National Anti-Doping Agency.

Navin Agarwal, director general of National Anti-Doping Agency, said it's "too early" to decide whether the 26-year-old should be removed from the Olympic squad, as further hearings would be held into the case.
