New Delhi, May 28:
In yet another embarrassing doping episode for Indian wrestling, Under-23 Asian Championship silver medallist Reena has flunked a dope test, resulting in a provisional suspension.
Wrestling Federation of India president Brij Bhushan Sharan confirmed the development to the PTI.
“Reena had failed the dope test for consuming a banned substance. We were intimated by the World Wrestling Federation (UWW) a few days back. We asked her and she said she took an injection to treat pain on advice of a relative who happens to be a coach,” Sharan said.
Reena had a won a silver in the 53kg category at the championship, held in Mongolia in March. She had also won a bronze in the junior Asian championship last year in July, apart from winning a silver in the Asian cadet championship in 2015. (PTI)
