Olympian javelin shooter Shivpal Singh failed a second drug test in his career for a second drug test, which can see that if he was found guilty, he was banned for a maximum of eight years. The 29 -year -old child competing at the Tokyo Olympics, the urine sample removed from competition earlier this year was tested positively for a prohibited substance. At that time, Nis was training in Patiala. It was temporarily suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).

“Yes, he tested positively for a prohibited substance. This is his second drug crime,” he said about the conditions of anonymity to PTI.

If a proven criminal and a long ban is given, Shivpal’s career will be as good as it ends.

In accordance with the rules of NADA and WADA, an athlete can be banned for a maximum eight years for a second doping offense.

Shivpal’s best success in his career was a silver medal he won at the 2019 Asian championships in Doha, and he scored an 86.23m personal best.

At the beginning of 2021, Shivpal’s drug example had tested positively for a steroid in an out -of -competitive test. In August 2022, NADA’s anti-doping disciplinary panel gave him a four-year ban on 2021 and kept him guilty of committing a doping crime.

He would serve until 2025, but he successfully discussed that “contaminated supplements” before Nada’s appeal panel were behind the flirting drug test.

The appeal panel accepted its contention in January 2023 and reduced its ban to only one of four years.

He returned to the action in April 2023 and won bronze in June that year at the national inter -national championships in Bhubaneswar. He also won gold in 2023 national games in Goa.
