'Hockey India Gave Me A Chance To Rebuild My Career', Says Jarmanpreet Ahead Of His Olympic Debut
Hockey India Senior Men National: In 2015, when Jarmanpreet Singh was picked by the Punjab franchise in the celebrated Hockey India League, the defender was touted as the next big thing in Indian hockey.
He was well on his way to playing for India at the Junior World Cup in 2016 which catapulted the careers of many of his peers including the current Indian Captain Harmanpreet Singh and mercurial forwards Mandeep Singh, Gurjant Singh, midfielders Nilakanta Sharma, Sumit among others.
But a failed dope test - a result of an injection administered by a medical practitioner in his home town for lower back pain - caused him two precious years in his budding career. While his peers subsequently went on to play for the Senior India team, he had to endure the two-year ban - with the future looking bleak in hockey.
