Asian Games Medallist MR Poovamma Fails Dope Test, Gets Two Year Ban by Anti-Doping Panel

News 18  

Senior India quarter-miler and Asian Games medallist MR Poovamma has been handed a two-year ban for flunking a dope test last year as the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel of the NADA overturned a disciplinary panel decision to hand her a three-month suspension. The 32-year-old Poovamma’s dope sample collected on February 18 last year, during the Indian Grand Prix I in Patiala, had returned positive for stimulant methylhexaneamine, a specified substance under World Anti-Doping Agency Code. On appeal by the National Anti-Doping Agency against the disciplinary panel decision, the ADAP handed Poovamma a two-year ban. “We set aside the impugned order dated 16.06.2022 as passed by Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel and allow the appeal of NADA and consequently impose a sanction of 02 years under Article 10.2.2 ineligibility upon the Athlete," the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel headed by Abhinav Mukerji said in its order dated September 16.
