NADA slaps 4-year ban on Bajrang for refusing to provide dope sample

The Panel after much deliberation and extended hearing has come to this decision.

According to the ADDP judgement, "In the opinion of this Panel, the defence of the Athlete to no extent whatsoever can satisfy the criteria for a 'compelling justification' as outlined in Article 2.3 of the ADR. An Athlete cannot escape liability on account of unanswered inquiries which he had posed to NADA. On the contrary the Athlete is expected to cooperate fully during the testing procedure."
