World Para Athletics Championships’s gold-winning sprinter Simran Sharma is likely to lose her medals (gold in T12 100m and silver in T12 200m) after her guide Umar Saifi was handed a provisional suspension on Friday by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for failing a dope test.
Saifi, who has been the visually impaired Simran’s guide for over seven months, tested positive for Drostanolone, a banned steroid that helps increase muscle mass, and strength. He won a 200m gold at the Delhi State Open on September 7 where the test was likely conducted. He can appeal against the finding and seek a ‘B’ sample test.
