Indian shot putter Jasmine Kaur provisionally suspended by NADA after failed dope test
Indian shot putter Jasmine Kaur has been provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for failing a dope test, according to the latest list of athletes placed under provisional suspension. According to PTI, the 22-year-old, who won gold at the National Games in Dehradun earlier this year with a personal best throw of 15.97 metres, tested positive for Terbutaline — a stimulant commonly found in cough syrups. The Punjab athlete had also secured second place at the Inter-University Games last year with a best effort of 14.75m. Meanwhile, wrestler Nitika, an Under-20 World Championship silver medallist, has been handed a four-year ban, with her period of ineligibility effective from May 28 last year. Kaur and Nitika's suspension follows the high-profile ban of Paris Olympian, Asian Championship silver medallist and junior world champion wrestler Reetika Hooda a couple of days ago, as reported by the Indian Express. Reetika, a promising heavyweight wrestler in the 76 kg category and one of the few from her country to succeed in higher weight classes, was provisionally suspended on July 7. This action followed a positive doping test from a urine sample collected by NADA during selection trials in New Delhi. Reetika was scheduled to leave next week for the Ranking Series tournament in Budapest, starting July 17, and later in the World Championships in September. However, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) officials said she has been asked to leave the ongoing national camp at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi. It is also learnt that the federation officials summoned the other wrestlers at the national training camp and cautioned them about indulging in career-threatening activities. 'We have reminded them to stick to the supplements that are officially procured and are properly tested. We have also alerted them that there is zero tolerance for doping and it could very well end their careers,' a source told the Indian Express.

U20 Worlds silver medallist wrestler gets 4-year doping ban
Representative image (ANI Photo) NEW DELHI: A former U20 World Championships finalist wrestler and a junior Nationals medallist boxer have been sanctioned by the National Anti-Doping Agency (Nada) after traces of prohibited substances were found in their respective urine samples. Delhi's Nitika, last year's U20 Worlds silver medallist in the women's 62kg, has been banned for four years by the Nada's anti-doping disciplinary panel (ADDP) after returning positive for androgenic steroids (AAS). She was tested out-of-competition by the Nada's dope control officers. Her ban period retrospectively kicked off from May 28, 2024. Nitika, who is a Delhi University (DU) student, was considered a strong force in the 62kg division, having secured a gold medal at the U23 Asian Championships in Jordan last year.

Delhi woman killed, 8 injured in car collision on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway
A 21-year-old IGNOU student from Delhi was killed and eight others, including three members of her family, were critically injured when a speeding Brezza crashed into their Datsun Go on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Ferozepur Jhirka, Nuh, while attempting to catch up with a second car ahead, police said on Friday. The deceased was identified as Nitika Kumari, a resident of Shakurpur in north Delhi. The five occupants of the Brezza were members of another family. The accident took place between 4pm and 4.10pm on Wednesday. 'Nitika, her sister Himani(25), brother Vishesh (16), and their uncle Sanjay Mandawat (45), were returning after dropping an elderly relative at their village Rajpur in Alwar, Rajasthan. Mandawat had slowed down his car along the expressway as Nitika was feeling nausea due to motion sickness. It was at this moment that the Brezza rear-ended their car,' said Ombir Singh, station house officer of Ferozepur Jhirka police station. Police said that those in the Brezza were from Tri Nagar in north Delhi and were returning after offering prayers at Mehendipur Balaji temple in Rajasthan in two separate cars, one of which was the Brezza. One car had moved ahead and the Brezza was speeding to catch up to it, which resulted in the severe crash. The Brezza was clocking nearly 130-140km/hr, and after the collision it flipped multiple times on the expressway. 'After the collision, the Datsun rammed the crash barrier, critically injuring Nitika because she had unfastened the seat belt to freshen herself with water,' Singh added. Within five minutes of the crash, those travelling in the second car arrived on the scene to help their relatives in the Brezza, police said. 'A commuter stopped and loaded the bleeding Nitika into his vehicle along with the other injured persons of her family and rushed them to the subdivisional hospital, Mandi Khera. Doctors declared her dead and alerted us. Those in the second car also brought the five injured in the Brezza to Mandi Khera hospital from where they were referred to a higher centre for better treatment,' SHO Singh added. Police did not identify those injured in the Brezza. There were four women and a man inside the Brezza. Police said that the Brezza driver will be arrested after he is discharged from the hospital. Based on a complaint from Mandawat, a first information report was registered against the Brezza driver at Ferozepur Jhirka police station on Wednesday night under sections 106 (causing death by negligence) and 281 (rash driving) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Nitika's body was handed over to her family after an autopsy on Thursday, police said. Meanwhile, Mandawat, a lawyer practising at the Rohini court, said his 91-year-old uncle Gyarsi Ram had reached Delhi for a short stay. 'We had gone to drop him to Alwar. While returing, Nitika complainted of dizziness due to motion sickness and was vomiting,' he said. Mandawat said he puchased lemonade and water and gave it to her. 'I slowed down the car along the crash barriers and opened the windows when the Brezza rammed us,' he said. 'Nitika and Himani were on the rear seat and were not wearing seat belts. Somehow Nitika sustained a severe head injury as she was peeping out of the window to vomit and died on the way to the hospital,' he said 'There was no cooling facility at the government mortuary to preserve her body for an autopsy, so we arranged ice blocks for the purpose,' he said.
