"The panel concludes that the athlete deserves the benefit of Article 10.4 for the anti-doping rules of NADA, as there is no fault or negligence on his part and he is a victim of sabotage done by a competitor," said NADA director general Navin Agarwal.

"Keeping in view the facts and circumstance, the panel exonerates the athlete from charges of violating anti-doping rule of NADA," he added, without naming the rival suspected of spiking Yadav's food.
