Brijendra Singh Choudhary: Indian kabaddi player Brijendra Singh Choudhary has been sanctioned for an anti-doping rule violation after testing positive for brinzolamide at the 6th Asian Beach Games in Sanya, the International Testing Agency (ITA) said on Tuesday.

Choudhary’s urine sample was collected during an in-competition doping control on April 27, 2026, at the Asian Beach Games. The sample returned an adverse analytical finding for brinzolamide, a substance prohibited under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) list.

Brinzolamide is classified as a specified substance under the WADA Prohibited List and falls under the S5 category of diuretics and masking agents. It is prohibited both in and out of competition.
