India's national record holder triple jumper Aishwarya Babu has been banned by NADA for four years for using a prohibited anabolic steroid.
She has until March 6 to file an appeal against the ban after receiving the ban notice from NADA's Appeal Panel on February 13. She was provisionally suspended in July last year.
Aishwarya Babu won the triple jump gold at the National Inter-State Championships in June last year with a national record-breaking leap of 14.14m.
She was tested by NADA officers at the same championships.
The NADA stated that Aishwarya Babu’s sample returned positive for Ostarine.
This drug falls in the category of selective androgen receptor modulator (SRAM) and is prohibited by WADA.
National Anti Doping Agency is mandated for Dope free sports in India.
