NADA Suspends Bajrang Punia for Four Years Over Doping Violation:
National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has imposed a four-year suspension on Olympic bronze medallist Bajrang Punia for violating the anti-doping code. The suspension follows his refusal to provide a urine sample for a dope test during selection trials for the national wrestling team on March 10, 2024. This decision, which extends beyond NADA’s initial provisional suspension in April 2024, has barred him from competitive wrestling and coaching opportunities abroad.
