Vinesh Phogat News / NADA issued notice to Vinesh Phogat, asked her to respond in this matter within 14 days

Vinesh Phogat News: Indian female wrestler Vinesh Phogat, who qualified for the Paris Olympics 2024, is facing a new challenge recently. While she was disqualified due to 100 grams of weight in her Olympic journey, now the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has issued a notice to her on September 25. This notice has been sent for not appearing at the scheduled time and place for the dope test, which is considered a violation of doping rules. NADA has given Vinesh 14 days to respond so that she can present her clarification.

Not giving the correct address became the reason for the controversy

According to the official notice issued by NADA, Vinesh Phogat did not give her correct address to NADA. She had informed about being available for dope test at her home in Kharkhauda village of Sonipat on September 9, but when the NADA official reached there, she was not present at the designated place. This is considered a violation of NADA rules. Now NADA has issued a notice to Vinesh, giving her a chance to clarify her position.

NADA rules and options for Vinesh

After the notice of NADA, Vinesh now has two major options:

Admitting her mistake: She can admit that she violated the rules of NADA and accept the necessary disciplinary action as a result.

Giving her explanation: Vinesh will have to prove that she was present at the place fixed for the dope test, or she could not appear there for some valid reason.

According to NADA's anti-doping rules, if the athlete is not available for dope test at the prescribed place and time three times a year, then strict action can be taken against him. At present, Vinesh has to prove that she had a valid reason why she could not appear at that time and place.

Olympic journey and challenges

Vinesh Phogat's career has already been full of challenges in Paris Olympics 2024. A slight difference in the weight category cost her the opportunity to win a gold medal at the Olympics. Now, this notice from NADA could create another hurdle in her Olympic preparations.

Strict adherence to doping rules

This move by NADA to strictly enforce doping rules in India ensures that every athlete is tested under a uniform and transparent process. This move also sends an important message to athletes that they must follow the rules and be available for their doping tests at all times.

Conclusion

This is a challenging time for Vinesh Phogat, where she not only has to revive her Olympic journey but also respond to NADA's notice. Both her career and India's pride depend on her next action at this time. Now it remains to be seen how she faces this situation and moves forward towards realizing her Olympic dream.
