New Delhi, March 13 : Two leading athletes one of them an Asian Games medallist – have failed dope tests for performance enhancing drugs, said Navin Aggarwal, director general of the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA), here on Saturday.
Aggarwal didn’t reveal the names of the athletes whose B sample is yet to be tested, but said NADA had collected the urine and blood samples during the three Indian Grand Prix events in Patiala recently and the National Race Walking Championships in Ranchi.
Each sample taken is kept in two separate bottles A and B. And if the A sample turns positive then athletes have the right to have their B samples tested.

New Delhi, March 13 : The Olympic bound athletes need not file Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) to have vaccination for Covid-19, says Navin Aggarwal, director general of the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA).
Since the vaccination is being administered to athletes to treat a medical condition TUE is not required, said Aggarwal. Some of the athletes had raised a concern that the Covid-19 vaccination could result in a positive dope test. As a precautionary measure the athletes want to apply for TUE. But I would say the vaccination is safe and there is no need to apply for TUE, Aggarwal told IANS.
