Indian Archer Prathamesh Jawkar Accepts Two-Year Ban for Whereabouts FailuresPreviousNext

Indian archer Prathamesh Jawkar, a 2022 Asian Games compound team gold medallist, has accepted a two-year ban from April 19, 2026, to April 18, 2028, for three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period, as announced by the International Testing Agency (ITA). His individual results from October 1, 2025, will be disqualified. Jawkar did not contest the anti-doping rule violation, and the decision can be appealed at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Whereabouts failures involve missed or unfiled doping tests during designated times.
