Wrestling to athletics: Doping cases cloud India’s Asian Games preparations | Other Sports News
The final stretch before a major multi-sport event is supposed to be about polishing performances, protecting fitness and making sure months of preparation come together at the right time. For India, however, the countdown to the 2026 Asian Games at Aichi-Nagoya in Japan has brought a rather different concern into focus.
Doping cases have begun to leave their mark on the country’s contingent just days before the official start of the tournament on September 19.
Two wrestlers have lost their places. A shooter has been dropped and replaced. And now, an athlete who was expected to line up in two distance events is facing a doping notice of his own.
Abhishek Pal’s case is the latest and, for now, the least conclusive of the four. The Asian Games-bound distance runner has been served a notice by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) after a banned substance was detected in his sample. The substance was reportedly found in a very small quantity and is understood to potentially be a female fertility drug.
Pal has not been provisionally suspended, leaving his participation in the 5,000m and 10,000m in Japan hanging in the balance rather than ending it outright.
The development, however, adds to an increasingly uncomfortable backdrop for an Indian contingent preparing for one of the biggest sporting events on the calendar.
Pal’s spot for the Games under cloud
Just weeks ago, Pal’s biggest concern would have been how to arrive in Japan in the best possible shape.
His domestic season had given him every reason for confidence. He won the 10,000m and finished second in the 5,000m at the National Inter-State Championships in June, performances that helped secure his selection for both events.
There was international pedigree too. Pal had won bronze in the 10,000m at the 2023 Asian Championships and had spent time training in the United States as he sought to establish himself at the highest level.
Now, his preparations have been interrupted by an issue that has nothing to do with his running.
According to media reports, the banned substance was detected in a very small amount. Pal is expected to seek an investigation and an early resolution, particularly with the Asian Games approaching.
What happens next is crucial. A notice is not a final finding, and Pal has not been provisionally suspended. He therefore remains in contention to compete, provided the matter is resolved in his favour or he is otherwise cleared to take part.
For an athlete who had spent months working towards two Asian Games races, the uncertainty could hardly have arrived at a worse time.
Wrestling suffers double blow
In wrestling, there is no such uncertainty anymore. The two wrestlers who were found positive for doping violations, i.e., Mukul Dahiya and Deepanshu, have both been removed from India’s Asian Games squad, leaving the country without representation in two weight categories.
Dahiya’s case affects the men’s freestyle 86kg category. He had secured his place through the selection process and was among the wrestlers India was taking to the Games. His removal means the country will have no entry in the category.
Deepanshu’s case has had a similar consequence in Greco-Roman wrestling’s 130kg division.
But it has also drawn greater attention because of the nature of the offence. Deepanshu tested positive for stanozolol in an out-of-competition test, with the case reportedly being treated as a second anti-doping offence.
For Indian wrestling, the numbers tell part of the story: two athletes, two categories, two places gone.
Shooting also took a hit
One of India’s best medal-producing sports in the Asian Games, shooting also suffered a doping blow ahead of the Asian Games 2026.
Gaurav Kumar Masoori was removed from the shooting squad following a doping offence involving propranolol. The 10m air pistol shooter had been part of India’s Asian Games plans, but his exclusion meant the selection process had to be revisited.
Akash Bharadwaj was subsequently brought into the squad as his replacement.
Masoori’s case, like the others, will have to go through the anti-doping process. But the immediate sporting consequence is already clear: one athlete’s place in India’s Asian Games team has changed hands.
And that is what makes the recent cases more significant than four separate disciplinary stories. They have begun to alter the composition of India’s contingent.
The warning signs are hard to ignore
The developments have also prompted a response from Indian wrestling’s governing body.
The Wrestling Federation of India has issued an anti-doping advisory to its athletes and support staff, urging greater caution over medicines and supplements. It has also indicated plans for anti-doping education and awareness programmes.
The message reflects one of the most difficult aspects of modern anti-doping rules: athletes can be held responsible for substances found in their samples even when questions arise over medication, supplements or what they were advised to consume.
That does not mean every positive test is evidence of deliberate cheating. Each case has to be examined on its own facts, and athletes have the right to respond to the allegations against them.
But it does make awareness particularly important, especially in the build-up to a major event when athletes are experimenting with training, recovery and nutrition under pressure to perform.
An unwanted theme before Aichi-Nagoya
The cases involving Dahiya, Deepanshu and Masoori have already produced tangible changes to India’s Asian Games squad. Pal’s case has not reached that point — at least not yet.
That distinction matters. But taken together, the developments have created an unwanted theme in the final weeks before the Games: India’s athletes are having to deal with doping-related uncertainty alongside the usual demands of preparing for competition.
For Pal, the immediate battle is to establish what happened and secure clarity over his Asian Games status.
For India, the hope will be that his case is resolved without another change to the contingent. The Asian Games campaign has not begun yet. But already, in wrestling, shooting and athletics, some of India’s plans have been forced to change.

Chelsea land two-time world’s best goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez on three-year deal | Football News
Chelsea have completed the signing of Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez from Aston Villa, adding a World Cup-winning and two-time Yashin Trophy winner to Xabi Alonso’s squad just a day before the transfer deadline.The 33-year-old has signed a three-year contract with the London club and is expected to take over the starting goalkeeper spot after Robert Sanchez again came under scrutiny following Chelsea’s Premier League opener against Fulham.Martinez arrives at Stamford Bridge with a decorated international résumé. He has been Argentina’s first-choice goalkeeper since 2021 and has earned 67 caps, playing a key role in the country’s successes at the Copa America in 2021 and 2024 and their 2022 World Cup triumph.The goalkeeper was also named the world’s best-performing goalkeeper at the 2023 and 2024 Ballon d’Or ceremonies, winning the prestigious Yashin Trophy on both occasions.
‘I want to be successful here’
Martinez said joining Chelsea was an easy decision for both him and his family, while making clear that his ambition is to win trophies with his new club.“Coming to Chelsea, for me and my family, was an easy decision to make and I’m just over the moon. I can’t wait to get started,” Martinez said.“I want to be successful here. I’m someone who wants to win at everything I do and I want to bring that here to this football club because it’s a football club that wins titles, so I think it’s a good match.”The Argentine also promised to bring his trademark intensity to Chelsea.“I’m all passion and I play with my heart. I will give 100 per cent every game, every training session to make the club, my teammates and the supporters proud,” he added.
Martinez brings winning pedigree
Martinez spent six seasons at Aston Villa and made 256 appearances for the club, helping them win the Europa League in May. Villa’s decision to sign Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma earlier this month paved the way for Martinez’s departure.His rise to becoming one of the world’s elite goalkeepers came after a long journey. Martinez joined Arsenal from Independiente as a 17-year-old in 2010 and spent several seasons on loan before establishing himself during the 2019-20 season.He started Arsenal’s final 11 matches of that campaign and helped them win the FA Cup before moving to Aston Villa.His international career transformed his status. Martinez made his Argentina debut in 2021 and soon became a key figure in their golden generation. He won the World Cup in Qatar in 2022, earning the Golden Glove after playing a decisive role in Argentina’s dramatic final victory over France.Chelsea will now hope that the experienced goalkeeper can bring the same consistency, personality and big-game pedigree to their defence as they look to challenge for major honours under Alonso.
Filip Hrgovic beat Moses Itauma this weekend, upsetting the odds to become Croatia’s first ever heavyweight world champion.
‘El Animal’ soaked up a tremendous amount of punishment from Itauma before seizing the moment and forcing a shock stoppage in the ninth. His attack was made easier by the fact that Itauma, who had been giving everything he had to score a knockout, completely emptied his gas tank.
Post-fight, Itauma was stretchered out of the main arena, with fans hoping exhaustion was the reason rather than a more serious injury. That final image of the 21-year-old does not tell the story of the fight, in the beginning of which he stunned with movement, angles and speed, bamboozling Hrgovic. Lack of experience aside, in an interview with DAZN the Croatian champion recognised the sheer skill he faced in the ring.
“Let me be honest, man, he’s amazing. He’s amazing. I didn’t know it was gonna be so hard. I thought I was gonna handle him easier. I was losing all the rounds. The kid is amazing – he’s so fast, you can’t see his punches coming. He don’t hit so hard, but he’s fast.”
Then came some critique and advice.
“From the first round I see that he’s gassing out. He boxed still like an amateur. He’s inexperienced. I saw he was gassing out and I knew my only chance was to stay there, make him tired, keep coming and to maybe stop him in the late rounds. That’s what I did.”
“I came to London, his home town, and beat the best guy in the division against all odds. I want to be considered the best heavyweight in the world. I’m the present, and he is the future.”
As Hrgovic moves on to target unifications, Itauma faces recovery and rebuild. Many in the sport feel that, though disappointing, the experience will serve him well ahead of any future title challenges.
Nov 5, 2022; San Francisco, California, USA; Fans follow the game between T1 and DRX during the League of Legends World Championships at Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Kelley L Cox-Imagn Images The way Team Liquid is playing, the No. 1 seed in the League Championship Series Summer Split playoffs may be decided before the final week of the regular season even begins.
Though it was a little more difficult than usual, Liquid picked up another win on Saturday, beating Shopify Rebellion 2-1 to improve to 5-0 in the standings. In Saturday’s other match, LYON swept Cloud 9.
The LCS Summer Split is an eight-team event that began July 25 and will run through the finals in October. The seven-week round-robin regular season — in which all teams play each other once in a best-of-three match — will set the field for the six-team playoffs.
The top two teams in the regular season will advance to the playoff semifinals, while the third- through sixth-place teams will advance to the quarters. The bottom two teams in the standings are eliminated.
The playoffs, which run Sept. 12 through Oct. 4, are best-of-five and double elimination. The top three teams will advance to the World Championship, played in New York, Los Angeles and Allen, Texas, from Oct. 15 through Nov. 14.
After winning their first four matches in sweeps, Liquid dropped their first map against Shopify, losing in 36 minutes. But Liquid rebounded to win the next two maps in 28 and 36 minutes.
Sean “Yeon” Sung led Liquid with a 16/6/12 kill/death/assist ratio while South Korean Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in posted 35 assists in the win.
In the second match, LYON dominated from the get-go, winning in 47 and 35 minutes, respectively.
In the balanced effort, Park “Thanatos” Seung-gyu of South Korea, Edward “Tactical” Ra and Lee “Loki” Sang-min of South Korea each averaged at least two kills per map.
Liquid next plays LYON and a win would lock up the top spot for Liquid. A LYON win would suddenly create a tie atop the standings at 5-1.

Eight-time PGA Tour winner Viktor Hovland has been fighting his swing all season long. But on Sunday at the Tour Championship, he could be crowned the 2026 FedEx Cup champion.
Hovland, who previously won the FedEx Cup title in 2023, made birdie on four of his final six holes on Saturday to shoot 65 and charge into the lead with 18 holes to play. He’s one shot ahead of Ryan Gerard, who is also looking to become one of the more unlikely FedEx Cup winners in history.
But Hovland and Gerard have company breathing down their necks. Three players are tied at 12 under, and they are all proven winners: World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, Ludvig Aberg and Adam Scott.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy rallied in Round 3 to shoot a 63 and rocket up the leaderboard into a tie for seventh. McIlroy will start the final round just five shots behind Hovland.
Whoever ends up on top will win $10 million and the FedEx Cup title.

New Zealand’s Corey Webster goes for a layup against Syria in the Fiba World Cup Asian Qualifiers at Mall of Asia Arena.–MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines—New Zealand strengthened its bid for a spot in the Fiba World Cup after dispatching Syria, 126-74, in the fourth window of the Asian qualifiers on Sunday at Mall of Asia Arena.
The Tall Blacks improved to 6-2 in Group E just behind undefeated Australia (7-0). The top three teams in Group E and F qualify for next year’s World Cup in Qatar.
“I think we started off great and maybe took our foot off the pedal in some respects and Syria did a good job in making it a ballgame,” said coach Judd Flavell, whose squad also secured a key overtime victory over Iran on Friday.
“We challenged the group at the half on how to make a mark on the game.”
New Zealand didn’t seem to need much firepower in the second half after a hot start saw the Kiwis take a 31-19 lead at the end of the opening quarter.
“I think we just locked in, picked up on our standard and played good on defense,” said New Zealand guard Flynn Cameron after dropping 21 points, four rebounds and three steals.
Also providing significant contributions for New Zealand were Corey Webster and Sam Mennenga, who scored 22 and 20 points, respectively.
James Justice Jr. was the sole double-digit scorer for the Syrians with 22. He also had five assists and five rebounds.

The Tempo (11-29) remain without leading scorer Marina Mabrey (20.8 points per game), who is still recovering from an adductor injury and has missed the last six games.
Phoenix built a 21-8 lead and never trailed. The Mercury led 27-17 after the first quarter and expanded the lead to 58-35 at the break. A 30-point third quarter made it 88-49 at the end of three.

Shohei Ohtani will not pitch Sunday against the Detroit Tigers after experiencing knee discomfort during a Friday bullpen session.
Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before Saturday’s 2-1 loss that Ohtani’s knee still isn’t pain free, and he’s also having minor issues with the biceps muscle that troubled him earlier in the inning.
After the game, Roberts said Ohtani would not be used against Detroit and his next pitching outing is up in the air. Tyler Glasnow, who was expected to follow Ohtani, will now start Sunday’s game.
The two-way star hasn’t pitched since throwing six innings in a 4-3 win against the San Diego Padres on July 3, and would have only pitched an inning or two on Sunday.
“The hard part right now is trying to figure out if he’s not 100% in the overall body, is it worth giving him an inning to build him up,” Roberts asked.
Ohtani has been able to hit through the problems – he’s batting .274 with 12 homers in 45 games since his last pitching performance – and the addition of Tarik Skubal has made it easier to win without him in the rotation.

Why 15-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took charge as East Zone’s stand-in captain in Duleep Trophy semifinal | Cricket News
Teenage sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi took on a new responsibility on Sunday as he captained East Zone for the first time in senior first-class cricket during their Duleep Trophy semifinal against Central Zone.15-year-old Sooryavanshi, who is normally East Zone’s vice-captain, stepped in after regular skipper Ishan Kishan was forced off the field with a thumb injury while keeping wickets. Kumar Kushagra replaced Kishan behind the stumps, while Sooryavanshi temporarily took charge of the team.
Sooryavanshi embraces leadership role
The youngster has been one of the talking points of East Zone’s Duleep Trophy campaign. Although he managed only eight runs in the quarter-final against North East Zone, he impressed with the ball by taking two wickets.Sooryavanshi later spoke about his experience of bowling and taking responsibility for the team.“If you ask any batter, they always enjoy bowling. A batter always enjoys bowling and a bowler always enjoys batting equally,” Sooryavanshi said in a video posted by BCCI Domestic.The teenager also revealed that Kishan took a chance by giving him the ball and described himself as a “wicket-taker”.“Opponent team’s wickets weren’t falling, so I was asked to bowl two or three overs. Ishan Bhaiya felt like he was taking a risk, but he didn’t know that I am a wicket-taker,” he added.
East Zone make strong start
East Zone won the toss and chose to bowl first against Rajat Patidar’s Central Zone. Saransh Jain returned to the Central lineup after recently making his India debut in the Colombo Test against Sri Lanka.East’s bowlers made an early impact, restricting Central to 81/3 after 32 overs in the opening session. Abhijit K Sarkar claimed two wickets, while Mukesh Kumar took one.Sarkar dismissed Aman Mokhade and Kunal Chandela early, before Mukesh removed Central captain Patidar. Mohammed Shami also kept Patidar under pressure during an intense contest as East Zone controlled the opening session.

Unai Emery reveals Ollie Watkins apology – but confirms tearful Aston Villa departure
Unai Emery admitted he shed a tear as he received an apology from Ollie Watkins ahead of the Aston Villa striker’s move to Saudi Arabia.
Watkins is set to join Al Hilal in a £50m deal, with Emery’s side agreeing to sign Nicolas Jackson from Chelsea as his replacement.
The England international missed Aston Villa’s 4-0 defeat to Brighton on the opening weekend of the Premier League season.
Emery was left seething by Watkins’ absence and said he could “only answer by silence”, but revealed an emotional farewell on Thursday.
“I can tell you now Watkins’ commitment and behaviour was fantastic always,” Emery said on Friday.
“Last week, we didn’t get a deal to finish playing the match against Brighton but he told us after the match that he was sorry and he told us he made a mistake and was wrong.
“We accepted it and the players did as well because he always had very good behaviour with me. For me, he’s a fantastic guy, even more so than as a player.
“I told him ‘bye’ with a huge hug and a small cry. But all the best with him in Saudi and with Nicolas Jackson replacing him.”

Aston Villa’s busy summer looks set to continue: David Ornstein of The Athletic reports that Unai Emery’s side have reached an “agreement in principle” to sign 18-year-old winger Ibrahim Mbaye from Champions League holders Paris Saint-Germain.

Meanwhile, Villa target Rafael Leao is set to join Galatasaray from AC Milan. Sky Sports report that Leao has accepted the move after Villa did not match Galatasaray’s offer on wages.
Villa have signed Nicolas Jackson after the departures of Ollie Watkins and Morgan Rogers, and have signed Johan Manzambi too.

Man City hold interest in Enzo Fernandez with Chelsea prepared to sell midfielder
Xabi Alonso said he wants players that “feel a desire to play” for Chelsea after Enzo Fernandez was left out of the squad for Thursday’s win over Luton.
Chelsea are open to Fernandez leaving before the transfer deadline, but Manchester City would need to pay more than the £120m asking price the Blues set earlier in the window.
Alonso has dismissed reports in Argentina that Fernandez asked not to be involved in the game against Luton and speaking ahead of Sunday’s Premier League game at home to Brighton, Alonso said: “We need the players that are in the best situation to play.
“We need to take everything into consideration, players that are in good moments, players that are not feeling that energy to play. For me it’s very important that they feel that desire to play and to have good preparation.
“We talked, and we decided that (for Luton) it was better not to be part of the squad. He’s a top player, there’s no doubt about that.”
