Olympic discus finalist Kaur of India gets 3-year doping ban

Associated Press  

MONACO — Olympic discus finalist Kamalpreet Kaur was banned for three years for doping with an anabolic steroid, track and field’s Athletics Integrity Unit said Wednesday. Kaur will be allowed to keep her sixth-place finish at the Tokyo Olympics last year but will miss the 2024 Paris Olympics before the ban expires in March 2025. Kaur first suggested the positive test was caused by a contaminated protein supplement, according to the AIU’s published ruling on the case. When formally charged and facing a four-year ban, Kaur acknowledged the anti-doping rules violation, the AIU document said.
