New Delhi: Indian race walker Rani Yadav has tested positive for a banned steroid and has been provisionally suspended from the Commonwealth Games, the Games Federation (CGF) said yesterday.
The 20-year-old, who finished sixth in the women's 20-km walk last Saturday, had her suspension extended at a hearing yesterday. "Ms Yadav has asked for the B sample to be tested," read a CGF statement. "That result is expected within 48 hours from the time of the request."
Yadav's first sample showed traces of 19-Norandrosterone, a metabolite of the banned muscle-building steroid nandrolone.
