BCCI banned Pradeep Sangwan For 18 Months
Delhi left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan has been given an 18-month ban after he was found guilty of having consumed banned substances.
The decision was announced by BCCI’s Anti-Doping Tribunal under BCCI’s Anti-Doping Code after the bowler’s B-sample also tested positive.
“The Tribunal has found that the Player has committed an Anti-Doping Violation under Article 2.1 of the Code for the presence of the Prohibited Substance Stanozolol, an Anabolic Steroid,” the BCCI statement said.
“The Tribunal has declared the player ineligible for a period of 18 months, commencing on 6 May 2013 and expiring at midnight on 5 November 2014, from participating in any capacity in any event or activity (other than authorised anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes) or competition authorised, organised or sanctioned by the BCCI or any of the other bodies referred to in Article 10.10.1 of the Rules,” the statement said further.
Sangwan was part of India’s u-19 World Cup winning team in 2008. The pacer had tested positive for Stanozolol in July. Reports said that the pacer has taken the banned substance as part of his medication when he was rehabilitating from a shoulder injury.
