Ace Indian athlete Dutee Chand, the current national 100 m record holder, received a four-year ban from the National Anti-Doping Agency for failing an out-of-competition doping test for Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) in December last year.

The ban will be effective from January 3 this year, the date of issuance of the letter by NADA. All her results from the date of sample collection — December 5 last year — will stand as disqualified and will include forfeiture of medals, points and prizes.

Meanwhile, Dutee Chand will appeal against the ban.

Dutee had covered 100 meters with a time of 11.17 seconds in the Indian Grand Prix held in Patiala. With this, she became the fastest female athlete in the country.
