New Delhi: Indian players are doing amazing in the ongoing Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham. Meanwhile, India has suffered a major setback. Indian athlete Dhanalakshmi Sekar has been suspended for 3 years. He was suspended for 3 years after he failed the dope test. Dhanalakshmi has been found positive in the test of Ban Methandienone in the WADA 2022 list.
It is noteworthy that in the Commonwealth Games 2022, Dhanalakshmi was seen by the whole country as a hope. But before the start of the games, she got caught doping. Due to this Indian hopes have become disheartened. Dhanalakshmi was part of the 4x100m relay team. His exit also weakened the team.
Earlier, Dhanalakshmi had qualified for the World Athletics Championships, but she did not go with the rest of the players, on which questions were raised. But at that time Dhanalakshmi did not go to the team due to visa problems. The Athlete Integrity Unit of World Athletics had taken Dhanalakshmi’s out-of-competition sample from outside the country. Ban substance was found in his sample.
Broke PT Usha’s record
Last year, PT Usha’s 23-year-old record was broken in the Federation Cup. He created a sensation by breaking the 2-decade old record of PT Usha. Dhanalakshmi had crossed the 200 meters race in just 23.26 seconds and with this, she broke the record set by PT Usha in the 1998 Federation Cup. Let us tell you that PT Usha completed the race in 23.30 seconds. It is noteworthy that Dhanalakshmi has also defeated Hima Das and Dutee.
Along with Dhanalakshmi, this player also failed in dope
Apart from Dhanalakshmi, triple jump national record holder Aishwarya Babu, Anish Kumar in the IF1 category of shotput and powerlifter Geeta are also not part of the Commonwealth. All these players failed the dope test.
