    Incheon Asian Games: Indian hammer thrower Manju Bala, a bronze medallist at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, has been handed a five-year ban by the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ADDP) of the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) after testing positive for banned substances.

    Manju, one of India’s most experienced throwers, was found guilty of using dehydrochloromethyl-testosterone (an anabolic steroid) and SARMS LGD-4033 (ligandrol) — both prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) code.

    Her failed test was made public by NADA in September 2024, and the ADDP’s ruling, issued in October 2025, confirmed her suspension.
