Saifi's name figures in the updated NADA list of provisionally suspended athletes.

It means Simran, who won the 100m gold and 200m silver in the T12 category, stands to lose her medals. T12 classification involves visually impaired track and field athletes who have a severe vision impairment. They are helped by a guide runner.
