New Delhi, 5 Jun: The Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ADDP) of the NADA has suspended powerlifter Sandeep Kaur for 10 years, one of the longest ban periods handed by the committee, for her second doping offence as well as for using multiple prohibited drugs which constituted aggravating circumstances.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Punjab powerlifter received eight years ban for her second doping offence — the first being in 2019 (tested positive for Stanozolol) — and additional two years after her sample was found to contain multiple banned substances.<\/p>\n
Kaur had returned to competition in August last year after serving the four-year ban for her first doping offence and she finished third in the 69kg open category in the National Senior Women\u2019s Powerlifting Championships in Kashipur, Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n
However, her urine sample taken during the championships tested positive for Norandros-terone, Metandienone and Mephentermine.<\/p>\n
After hearing the parties, the ADDP held that the athlete has failed to explain how the substance entered her body.<\/p>\n
“It’s difficult to hold that ADRV (anti-doping rules violation) was not intentional,” the ADDP said in the order.<\/p>\n
The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), through its counsel, urged the panel that the aggravating circumstances be considered in the present case because the athlete used multiple prohibited substances and the period of ineligibility may be increased by up to two years under the rules.
