Discus thrower Banvir Singh's seven-year doping ban has been confirmed by NADA's Appeal Panel, increasing his initial five-year suspension for methandienone. This extends his overall ineligibility, compounded by a prior two-year ban for whereabouts failures. Separately, long-distance runner Harendra Kumar received an additional four-year ban for a Darbepoetin violation.
