In August 2022 the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) on behalf of World Athletics has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Indian Athlete Navjeet Kaur Dhillon after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived her right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the AIU. Because she signed and submitted the Admission of Anti-Doping Rule Violation and Acceptance of Consequences Form she received a 1 year reduction from the AIU.
The Athlete stated that she unaware had used a supplement that contained a prohibited substance. However the AIU finds that the Athlete failed to establish the violation was not intentional.
Therefore the AIU decides on 24 August 2022 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 11 August 2022.
