New Delhi, Mar 18 (UNI) Indian long-distance runner Archana Laxman Jadhav has been handed a four-year ban after the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) found her guilty of an anti-doping rule violation.
"The AIU has banned Archana Laxman Jadhav (India) for 4 years from 7 January 2025 for Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Oxandrolone) DQ results from 15 December 2024," the international body said in a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday.
Jadhav, 20, provided a urine sample during the Bajaj Allianz Pune Half Marathon on December 15, 2024, which subsequently tested positive for Oxandrolone, an anabolic steroid prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code.
