Dope-tainted shotputter Inderjeet Singh files for B' sample testing

New Delhi: Dope-tainted shotputter Inderjeet Singh on Thursday asked the National Anti Doping Agency to open his ‘B’ sample of the June 22 dope test, which is expected to be done in a couple of days. The 2015 Asian Championships gold medallist tested positive for a cocktail of steroids androsterone (of the nandralone group) and etiocholanolone, both performance-enhancing drugs, at an out-of-competition test by the Nada on June 22.

Inderjeet’s counsel Anish Dayal said the result of the ‘B’ sample will be important in the case after the athlete’s June 29 dope test was clean. The June 29 sample was taken during the national inter-state meet in Hyderabad. “Inderjeet has written to Nada to test his ‘B’ sample,” Dayal said.
