In September 2022 the India National Anti-Doping Agency (INADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter Kamaldeep after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Drostanolone and Trenbolone.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete failed to respond nor did he attend the hearing of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel of India (ADDPI).
The Panel finds that the presence of prohibited substances has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.
Without the Athlete's response the Panel deems that he failed to demonstate that the violation was not intentional, nor how the substances had entered his system.
Therefore the Panel decides on 14 March 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 20 September 2022.
