Discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur, the National record holder who was sixth in last year’s Tokyo Olympics, has been suspended for three years by the Athletics Integrity Unit for failing a dope test.
Kamalpreet was tested out of competition in Patiala on March 7 this year and her urine sample showed the presence of stanozolol, a non-specified substance prohibited at all times by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
That should have brought the 26-year-old a four-year ban but she was given a one-year reduction in the period of ineligibility based on her early admission of the anti-doping rule violation and acceptance of sanction after receiving the notice of charge on September 7.
