Iran's Kabaddi Team Trains in India; India's Asian Games Face Doping Setback
As the 2026 Asian Games approach, Iran's women's kabaddi team is training in India to compensate for disrupted preparations caused by war, rebuilding with a largely new squad. Meanwhile, India's Asian Games campaign faces challenges with wushu player Surya Bhanupratap Singh provisionally suspended for testing positive for the banned substance Enobosarm, marking the 12th doping case among Indian athletes since the Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Both developments highlight the varied hurdles teams face ahead of the Games starting September 19 in Japan.
