Olympic medallist Bajrang Punia suspended for 4 years by NADA for violation of anti-doping code

The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) issued a four-year suspension to wrestler Bajrang Punia on Tuesday for declining to submit a sample during national team selection trials on March 10. Following NADA's initial suspension on April 23, the sport's world governing body, UWW, also imposed sanctions on the Tokyo Olympics bronze medallist.

After Bajrang contested the provisional suspension, NADA's Anti-Disciplinary Doping panel (ADDP) temporarily lifted it on May 31, pending the issuance of a formal notice of charge.
