Indian kabaddi player Brijendra Singh Choudhary is sanctioned for an anti-doping rule violation and is stripped of his Asian Beach Games silver medal. The International Testing Agency (ITA) reports it issued the sanction on behalf of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA).
According to reports, Choudhary was part of the men’s team that won silver at the Asian Beach Games earlier this year. NDTV says the medal is removed after he fails an in-competition dope test. The Hindu also attributes the case to ITA’s findings and the resulting ADRV sanction, describing the enforcement action without additional event details.
Across the outlets, there is agreement on the player’s identity, the tournament connection to the team’s silver, and that ITA/OCA handles the anti-doping process. The reporting emphasizes different parts of the timeline—NDTV highlights the medal stripping and the in-competition test—while The Hindu focuses on the sanction announcement and the ADRV basis.
