Olympian Shivpal Singh Receives 10-Year Ban for Second Doping Violation
Olympian javelin thrower Shivpal Singh has received a 10-year ban from the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for a second doping violation after testing positive for methandienone. Previously, he was banned for four years in 2022 for a steroid offence but successfully appealed, reducing it to one year. After returning to competition in 2023, he won medals at national events. At 31, this latest suspension likely ends his athletic career. His career highlight includes a silver medal at the 2019 Asian Championships.
