Barely 5 days before the Rio Olympics, Shot Putter Inderjeet Singh
has failed dope test for the second time putting his participation in
the games in jeopardy.
The 28-year-old athlete Inderjeet Singh’s ‘A Sample’ was also tested positive by the National Anti-Doping Agency on June 22.
Inderjeet has been provisionally suspended and served a second notice by the National Anti-Doping Agency. He will have to appear before the NADA Disciplinary Panel for a hearing and he will be given a chance to present his case before the panel.
The dope test report had detected two banned drugs, Androsterone and Etiocholanolone, in Inderjeet’s body.
The Bhiwani resident of Haryana, Inderjeet, has performed well during Federation Cup held in Manglore.
Inderjeet had won Bronze medal at the 17th Asian Games in Incheon in 2014 for which he had qualified for Rio Olympics.
The reigning Asian champions now face the prospect of being banned for four years under the new WADA Code. He is also virtually ruled out of the Rio Olympics which begins on August 5, though athletics events start on August 12.
Inderjeet had claimed it was a conspiracy against him and his sample has been tampered with.
"This is a conspiracy and there is something wrong in it. My sample has been tampered with. This will be checked by the doctors though. Why would a player take something which is not good for his health," Inderjeet had said.
Inderjeet is one of those athletes who does not train at the national camps. He normally trains on his own with his personal coach.
Inderjeet had said that there was a campaign to shut his mouth.
He is one of the first track and field athletes who qualified for the Rio Olympics as he made the cut last year itself. He had a training stint earlier this year in the United States under funding of the Sports Ministry's Target Olympic Podium (TOP) Scheme.
