Top mile runner Parvej Khan gets a six-year ban for doping
Parvej Khan NEW DELHI: Middle-distance runner Parvej Khan, who had lit up the American Collegiate circuit with some showstopping performances in the men's 800m and 1,500m events, and becoming the first Indian track athlete to compete at the NCAA championships in Boston, has been banned by the Nada's anti-doping disciplinary panel (ADDP) for a maximum period of six years on twin counts — failed dope test and whereabouts failure. TOI has obtained Parvej's ADDP order copy dated Aug 12, 2025, in which the threemember panel found the 19-year-old mile sensation from Mewat guilty of testing positive for a non-specified substance 'erythropoietin' (EPO) during his 'A' sample examination and returning a combination of three missed tests or filing failures on 12.05.2023; 10.07.2023 and 05.12.2023 within a 12-month period.

The ADDP panel comprising chairperson Charu Pragya and members Dr. Bikash Medhi and Archana Surve held Parvej liable for sanctions under two charges – under article 10.2.1.1 for an ineligibility period of four years for returning an adverse analytical finding (AAF) for 'EPO — peptide hormones, growth factors, related substance and mimetics' and another two years under article 10.9 for multiple violations (read whereabouts failure). 'In the present case, since the athlete had been provisionally suspended, the panel accordingly holds that the athlete's period of ineligibility for 6 years shall commence from the date on which the notification was sent, i.e., by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 11 Foods That Help In Healing Knee Pain Naturally Undo 28.08.2024. 'All other competitive results obtained by the athlete from the date of sample collection, i.e., 27.06.2024, shall be disqualified with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes,' the order read. Due to his retrospective ban, Parvej will forfeit his gold medal won in the 1,500m race clocking 3:42.95s at the 63rd National Inter State senior athletics meet in Panchkula last year. He was tested by Nada officers during the same championships on June 27 & 28. All his other results obtained during that period will be declared null and void. Parvej, who went to Florida on scholarship, had some standout performances in the USA's Collegiate system, becoming the first from the country to qualify for the final of a track event in the NCAA Championships. During the Portland Track festival last year, he clocked a personal best time of 3:36.21 in the 1500m, marking the second-fastest time by an Indian, following Jinson Johnson's national record of 3:35.24 set in 2019. Triple jumper Varkey provisionally suspended In another doping setback in athletics, triple jumper Sheena Varkey has been provisionally suspended by Nada after testing positive for a banned substance. The 32-year-old Kerala athlete had finished sixth in the triple jump event at the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!

National-level triple jumper Sheena Varkey latest to be caught in dope net
New Delhi, Aug 18 (PTI) Triple jumper Sheena Varkey, who has won multiple national-level medals and even represented the country internationally, has been suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) after testing positive for a prohibited substance. The 32-year-old had also competed in the Hangzhou Asian Games in 2023. 'Sheena Varkey has been suspended," a well-placed source told PTI but did not divulge the details of the banned substance in question. Varkey, who hails from Kerala, had won a silver medal at the Uttarakhand National Games this year and a bronze in the Federation Cup after that. In 2018, she had won a silver medal at the Asian Indoor Championships. The latest failed test continues the alarmingly regular dope setbacks for India's athletes. On August 11, National Games gold-winning discus thrower Gagandeep Singh was among a bunch of athletes across sports who were handed three-year bans by NADA after they accepted their offence within 20 days of being charged. Representing Services, Singh had won gold in men's discus with a best throw of 55.01m at the Uttarakhand National Games on February 12. He later tested positive for testosterone metabolites and was handed provisional suspension. As per the 2023 testing figures released by the World Anti-Doping Agency, India's positivity rate for banned substances stood at 3.8 per cent — 214 Adverse Analytical Findings (AAF) from 5606 samples. Of the 5606 tests, 2748 were conducted in-competition. India's positivity rate for banned substances is significantly higher than China, USA , France , Germany and Russia. All these countries have a positivity rate of one per cent or lower. As per WADA numbers, athletics leads the number of India's positive cases with 61 AAFs from 1223 samples.
