CHENNAI: A two-year ban in 2018 for failing a dope test and the death of her father due to COVID-19 last year taught women's 10,000m national champion Sanjivani Jadhav profound life lessons, even as she seeks to leave behind the setbacks and look ahead in her running career.
The 25-year-old Jadhav served a two-year ban handed by the Athletics Integrity Unit of World Athletics in 2019 after testing positive for masking agent Probenecid. All her results after June 29, 2018 were annulled and she lost the 10,000m bronze she won at the Asian Athletics Championships in Doha.
