NEW DELHI: India's fastest woman athlete, Dutee Chand, who holds the national 100m record of a sensational 11.17s, which she recorded in 2021 (Indian Grand Prix 4 in Patiala), has failed an out-of-competition dope test for selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) and has been provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), it was revealed on Wednesday.
Dutee's 'A' sample (urine) was taken on December 5 in Bhubaneswar and she was informed about her adverse analytical finding (AAF) on January 3, sources told TOI. She had the option of going for her 'B' sample testing within a period of seven days from the date of receiving the AAF notice, but she didn't opt for it, resulting in the imposition of the provisional suspension by Nada.
