NADA's Registered Testing Pool: Hima Das, Tejinder Pal, Sreeshankar among top athletes missing
The HinduGomathi Marimuthu’s joy was short-lived. Gomathi’s positive dope test has added to India’s doping woes in athletics following the revelation last November that quarter-miler Nirmala Sheoran along with four other India athletes had tested positive for banned substances in re-tests ordered by the World Anti-Doping Agency on samples declared ‘negative’ at the National Dope Testing Laboratory. As Gomathi’s doping news broke at home, many who keep track of doping expectedly asked the obvious question: Was she not tested by the National Anti-Doping Agency before the Indian team travelled to Doha? In the run-up to the Asian Games last year, NADA did not test at least eight leading athletes out-of-competition till July-end, and they eventually made the Asian Games squad. They include 800m runner Tintu Luka, who has not competed since being stricken by dengue in the Asian championships in Bhubaneswar in 2017, 400m runner Anilda Thomas, and steeplechaser Lalita Babar, the only Indian athlete to have made the final in Rio Olympics, who has not competed in more than two years except in one cross-country race.
