NEW DELHI: Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist Bajrang Punia was on Tuesday banned for four years by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for the wrestler's refusal to give his urine sample for dope testing. NADA had first suspended Bajrang on April 23 for the offence following which, the United World Wrestling (UWW) - the sport's global governing body - had also sanctioned him.
The four-time World Championships medallist was told to give his sample during the selection trials for the national team held in Sonepat on March 10.
