Female fertility drug found in Asian Games-bound runner Abhishek Pal’s sample

India

  • Asian Games-bound runner Abhishek Pal has received a notice from NADA after clomiphene was detected in his blood sample.
  • Pal, who is selected for the 5,000m and 10,000m events, has been issued an Adverse Analytical Finding by the anti-doping agency.
  • Clomiphene is a drug used to treat female infertility and is prohibited in sport under anti-doping rules.
  • Pal has replied to NADA and plans to contest the case; he has not been provisionally suspended, so his Asian Games participation remains uncertain.
