NEW DELHI: Indian weightlifter Sanjita Chanu, a two-time Commonwealth Games champion, has been handed a four-year ban by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for failing a dope test last year.
Sanjita had tested positive for an anabolic steroid - Drostanolone Metabolite - that features in the World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) prohibited list, during the in-competition testing at the National Games in Gujarat in September-October last year.
Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) president Sahdev Yadav confirmed the development to PTI.
