In a major blow to his Rio hopes, Narsingh Yadav has failed the second dope test which was conducted on July 5. NADA has also found his food supplements clean, contrary to his claims of them being tampered with. The result comes as a huge setback for the wrestler, coming just ahead of the NADA hearing on his appeal.Its the same substance that was found in the first test. It was unlikely that it would go out of the system, a Wrestling Federation of India source said -- referring to banned anabolic steroid methandienone.Parveen Rana was named as Narsinghs replacement in the 74-kg category for the Rio Olympics late on Tuesday. Narsingh will have to be able to prove allegations of tampering before the NADA panel on Wednesday to salvage his Olympic hopes. The 26-year-old wrestler has been accused of taking an anabolic steroid, methandienone, and is under provisional suspension.Meanwhile, Union Sports Minister Vijay Goel on Wednesday said that doors are almost shut for Narsingh to go to the Olympics, adding that it is time for the conspiracy theories to stop.I dont think it is a debatable issue because whatever be the reason of doping, the whole world is watching and I think it will be extremely difficult for him to go to Rio. There are no proofs of these rumours and I want all these suspicions of foul play to stop and our anti-doping agency will give a final report within a few days.Earlier, Narsingh had lodged an FIR in Sonepat against the boy, reportedly a cadet wrestler from Delhi, for spiking his food which resulted in the positive dope test. With the needle of suspicion falling on Sushil Kumars camp for orchestrating the idea, the two-time Olympic medallists coach Satpal Singh rubbished the allegations, claiming that they had nothing to do with the matter. The Sushil camp is expected to hold a press briefing later on Wednesday. Discount Jerseys Cheap .

CHICAGO -- A National League division title might almost be out of reach for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but they remain alive for Octobers postseason party.The Pirates (67-61) are in the thick of the NL wild-card chase after a 3-1 victory on Sunday and four-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers.Pittsburgh has won five of its last six, is 30-20 in its last 50 games and stands just a half game out of the second wild-card spot.Were going to leave here in a good place, but weve got to show up in Chicago, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said after Sundays win at Miller Park. Well look forward to it. I dont think you could ask for much more here at the end of August. We get to play meaningful games. It should be fun.The Pirates open a three-game series on Monday against the division-leading Cubs (82-47) at Wrigley Field, the start of a seven-game homestand.But theyll be without right-hander Gerrit Cole, originally slated to start in the opener. Cole (7-9) is 0-3 since Aug. 7 and departed Milwaukee on Sunday for Los Angeles and a reported examination of an ailing right elbow.He will miss at least his next start, Pirates GM Neal Huntington told reporters on Sunday.Instead, right-hander Steven Brault (0-1, 3.60 ERA) is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to make his third career start and third appearance this season with the Pirates.Hes going to be in the big leagues, hes going to be excited to be here, Hurdle said. Its his third start and hes got a litttle experience doing this.ddddddddddddWe just want him to pound the zone and mix his pitches. Weve seen him be able to use the fastball to both sides of the plate. Hes an intelligent guy who game plans with the catchers well.Also up from Triple-A Indianapolis is right-handed reliever A.J. Schugel. Originally an expected September call-up, Schugel has a 3.69 ERA in 49 previous appearances this season.Brault faces Cubs ace Jake Arrieta (16-2, 2.62 ERA).After a midsummer slump going 1-4 in seven starts, Arrieta is 4-0 in August and is coming off an eight-inning shutout effort over the Padres on Aug. 23.Arrietas 16 victories top the league and hes 9-2 in his career with a 1.99 ERA in 13 starts against the Pirates, including a 4-1 record at home.He had a similar run in August 2015, going 6-0 in the month and completing the regular season with an 11-0 record en route to NL Cy Young Award honors.The Cubs dropped a 1-0 decision on Sunday to the Los Angeles Dodgers to conclude a 5-4 West Coast swing but maintain a 14-game lead over the second-place St. Louis Cardinals and are 14 1/2 ahead of the Pirates. With 33 games to play, the Cubs own baseballs winningest record and their division lead is the big leagues largest.Along with the three-game series at Chicago, the Cubs and Pirates will play a four-game set Sept. 26-29 at PNC Park.
