American in on it: Without posted pictures my jjwatt.u201d together announced Javelin thrower Dahiya gets 4- year ban New Delhi: In a u201c landmarku201d decision by the Anti- Doping Disciplinary Panel of the NADA, Haryanau2019s Amit Dahiya has been banned for four years for evading dope sample collection by sending a proxy during the National Javelin Throw Open Championships last year.

Dahiya had finished third with a best throw of 68.21m in the event held at Sonepat, Haryana on April 16, 2019. After the event, Dahiya, 21, was asked by the National Anti- Doping Doping officials to furnish his dope samples but he instead sent another person to the collection room. During the verification process, the NADA Dope Collectors came to realise that the person who had come to provide the urine sample was not the bronze medallist. Realising that the plan failed, Dahiyau2019s proxy fled from the collection room.
