NEW DELHI: Since November last, at least nine Indian track and field athletes have faced sanctions for their involvement in doping, beginning with Tokyo Olympian javelin thrower Shivpal Singh.
The latest to join the hall of shame is the country’s No.1 woman discus thrower, Navjeet Kaur Dhillon, who has returned an adverse analytical finding for testosterone (S1.1 anabolic agents). Navjeet, hailing from Pun- jab’s Amritsar, was tested out of competition outside India by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) prior to the Eugene World Championships.
