Singh cried foul after he tested positive for banned anabolic steroid – methandienone and failed the dope test. He accused that his food supplements were spiked at the SAI canetre in Sonepat, where he was training.

He has given a written complaint to Wrestling Federation of India and named a senior wrestler and an official behind him failing the dope test.
