Bhubaneswar (Odisha) Aug 19 (ANI): Ace Indian athlete Dutee Chand, the current national 100 m record holder, has received a four-year ban from the National Anti-Doping Agency for failing an out-of-competition doping test for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) in December last year. Reacting to it, Indian sprinter Dutee Chand on August 19 appealed the state government, Central Government and NADA to spare her this time. She further added that she has given several doping tests earlier where she was never detected positive. Dutee Chand said, “I received the news yesterday morning that I lost the case that I had challenged and received a four-year ban. I was very sad and shocked after the decision. I have given several doping tests earlier and this has never happened. I request the state government, central government and NADA to help so that I can represent India in various competitions.” Dutee Chand is an Asian Games medalist, having notched silver in 100 m and 200 m women's competitions in the 2018 edition of the event. She also won Bronze in 2013, 2017 and 2019 at the Asian Championships. Back in 2019, she became the first Indian woman sprinter to win gold at a Summer Universiade, winning it in the 100 m event.
