Indian discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur handed three-year ban for doping

MONACO: Indian discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur has been banned from competition for three years, starting March 29, 2022, due to doping violation, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Wednesday.

The AIU, which is the independent body created by World Athletics that manages all integrity issues — including doping and age fraud, had provisionally suspended Kamalpreet in May this year for testing positive for the banned substance stanozolol, an anabolic steroid that is on the list of banned substances as per the World Athletics.

Her samples had been tested at a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

The 26-year-old had tested her samples at a private lab and was also allowed by the WADA to have them tested at the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) in New Delhi, both of which came up positive for stanozolol. IANS
