Two of the cross-country runners who recently competed in the World cross-country championships in Belgrade have been provisionally suspended for doping offences. Hemraj Gurjar had won two successive National cross-country titles in 2023 and 2024 before being selected for the World meet. He finished 88th in Belgrade. Anjali was second at this year's National. She finished 80th in the Worlds.
Another prominent runner to be provisionally suspended was Mohd Nur Hasan. The steeplechaser had a very good season last year at home though he could not finish in the Asian championships at Bangkok.

Re: Sports and Performance Enhancing Drugs (Doping)
I would love to be a national level player. For example, a national champion even if I am a nobody in the world. Now, I would not dope because I want to have a good life and know the ill effects of doping. But, if somehow my morals and my information gathering system told me that it is not a big deal, then I would do it. A national level player/champion would be a great achievement. For some it may not matter but heck, I would be fine even being a state champion but a nobody at the national level.

Re: Sports and Performance Enhancing Drugs (Doping)
And if I am going to be jobless, homeless, etc. otherwise, will I take a bit to push me over the mark? Now, I don't know how my ethics, concerns about the future, etc. would stand up if I am going to be homeless soon not knowing where food will come from ...

German TV network ARD has alleged the Chinese covered up 23 positive tests prior to the Tokyo Olympics and WADA knew of it but did not take any action following the Chinese explanation.
WADA has strongly refuted the allegations and has threatened to explore legal options against the German TV. It has also stated that it would be referring the accusations made by the USADA CEO, Travis Tygart, to its legal department.
Here's the X (Twitter) link to the ARD summary tweeted by an ARD correspondent. The whole story is expected to be shown on ARD this week-end.
