Indian lifter banned for doping
An Indian woman weightlifter, who won a silver medal at the Commonwealth Championship two years ago, has been given a four-year suspension for doping on Staurday, the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) said.
Seema’s dope sample was collected this year during the 34th Women National Weightlifting Championship in Vishakhapatnam. “Presence of prohibited substances were found in her system during an ongoing Championship to enhance her performance which amounted to a clear cut case of cheating and outright violation of National Anti-Doping rules,” the NADA said in a statement.
Seema won a silver medal in the 2017 Commonwealth Championships and finished sixth in the women’s 75kg competition at the Gold Coast C’wealth Games in 2018.
