Wrestler Narsingh Yadav met Prime Minster Narendra Modi on Tuesday.
"The PM gave me his blessings. He told me that he will make sure that nothing like this ever happens to me again," he said after meeting Modi.
"I believe I will definitely go for Rio Olympics, and win a medal for my country," he added.
Yadav was accompanied by Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh and Uttar Pradesh Bharatiya Janata Party chief Keshav Prasad Maurya.
Yadav was absolved of doping charges by the National Anti-Drug Authority (NADA) on Monday evening and it has been decided that he stands a chance of representing India at Rio Olympics, after another dope test.
Reportedly, NADA accepted that the wrestler was a victim of sabotage.
The NADA Counsel Gaurang Kanth said, "NADA Panel is convinced that Narsingh was victimised."
He also claimed that this was the last hurdle which was coming in the wrestler's way to Rio. The panel has also admitted that Yadav was unaware of the substance.
The NADA disciplinary panel, on the case, asserted, "Narsingh consumed food supplied by WFI and it is an opinion of the panel that it is impossible to keep eye on the drinks."
