Bajrang Punia suspended for four years.
He was foolish to refuse and more foolish to admit it in his public statements. He was expecting NADA DCOs to carry a letter of explanation from NADA regarding his complaints!

I don't condone doping. This post is a thought exercise.

I wonder why athletes cannot do the following. Test a whole bunch of medicines/food in your area and find which ones have the banned chemicals you want to dope with. Then, you eat that regularly and blame the food provider/medicine and can provide quick proof that you got tainted by a source you did not know.

We should call this the Sinner-Siwatek formula for doping and it has been quite successful in being a doping method that hardly gets you sanctioned. Where is the drawback? Is it quite costly to do such tests?

Athlete suspended for four years, but competes again within no time.
Sachin Poswal, a Delhi athlete, was suspended on Dec 27 but managed a new ID and competed again on Dec 29. He seemed to have done it a second time. Earlier too he had done such a trick, but this one was too swift and AFI was apparently caught napping even as it keeps talking about tackling the doping menace.

Is it this easy to orchestrate a second identity for oneself in India... A new name, new dad, and the whole works? I suppose nothing is impossible in incredible India :)
