Asian champion shot-putter Manpreet Kaur has been banned for four years by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for flunking four dope tests in 2017.
The period of suspension would begin from July 20, 2017, the date of her provisional suspension, according to an order of the anti-doping disciplinary panel (ADDP) of the NADA dated Mar.29.
"Yes, Manpreet Kaur has been suspended for four years," NADA Director General Navin Agarwal said. She has the option of filing an appeal before the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel.
Manpreet is set to lose the gold she won in the 2017 Asian Championships in Bhubaneswar as well as her national record as the panel ruled that all her competitive results from the date of sample collection would be disqualified.
