In May 2023 the India National Anti-Doping Agency (INADA) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter Jitender after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone), Methyltestosterone, Mephentermine and Phentermine.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for 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. The Panel deems that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional.
Therefore the Panel decides on 5 October 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 1 May 2023.
