Bajrang Punia suspended by NADA for violating anti-doping rules

Olympic medalist and wrestler Bajrang Punia was suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) on Sunday for violating anti-doping rules, as reported ANI.

Punia was provisionally suspended for refusing to provide his sample for a doping test during court proceedings last month.

The NADA Disciplinary Committee (ADDP) had earlier lifted Punia’s provisional suspension until the agency issued a charge sheet against the wrestler, who had refused to submit his sample for a doping test after the selection trials in March.
