In July 2017 United World Wrestling (UWW) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Indian Athlete Manish Manish after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Meldonium.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete failed to respond to any of the communications from UWW. Without the Athlete’s response the UWW Anti-Doping Panel deems that the Athlete has admitted the charge, to have waived his right for a hearing and /or file a statement in his defence, and to have accepted the consequences.
Therefore the UWW Anti-Doping Panel decides on 25 July 2017 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 19 July 2017. Further the Panel decides to impose a CHF 20’000 fine on the Indian Wrestling Federation.
