In April 2023 the India National Anti-Doping Agency (INADA) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Priya after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Enobosarm (Ostarine), GW1516 and LGD-4033 (Ligandrol).
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel of India (ADDPI).
The Athlete acknowledged that she had used supplements and asserted that she was unaware that it contained prohibited substances. By contrast INADA contended that the Athlete failed to demonstrate the source of the prohibited substances, nor that the violation was not intentional.
The Panel finds that the presence of prohibited substances had been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly the she committed an anti-doping rule violation. The Panel deems that the Athlete failed to prove the source of the prohibited substances, neither that the violation was not intentional.
Therefore the Panel decides on 25 September 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 21 April 2023.
