NEW DELHI (AP) — A top official of India’s National Anti Doping Agency says the “B” samples of three athletes caught last week for using banned substances have tested positive.
NADA Director-General Rahul Bhatnagar told The Associated Press on Friday that “Sini Jose, Jauna Murmu and Tiana Mary will appear before an anti-doping panel after their ‘B’ samples tested positive.”
Jose, Murmu and Mary, all 400-meter runners, were caught using anabolic steroids by NADA and could face two-year bans.
Murmu and Mary tested positive for epimenthandiol, and Jose tested positive for methandienone.
They are among eight Indian athletes caught doping this month.
