NADA has suspended India’s top woman 400m runner Deepanshi for flunking her dope test during the recent National Inter-State Championships, where she won a silver medal.

The in-competition urine sample, which was taken on June 27 (either after her heat or semifinal), contained anabolic steroids. The 21-year-old had clocked a personal best time of 52.01 seconds to finish second behind Kiran Pahal (50.92) in the women’s 400m in Panchkula. “She failed the test conducted during the championships and has been provisionally suspended,” a source said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
