The development comes after CAS set aside NADA’s earlier decision to clear the athlete and directed a fresh investigation into her positive test for clenbuterol, a prohibited substance known to enhance endurance and reduce body fat. Radhika had initially tested positive in November 2022 but was exonerated in May 2024 after a subsequent test returned negative.

She returned positive for methandienone, an anabolic androgenic steroid banned at all times. She had won gold at the 2023 National Inter-State Championships and a silver in the 2024 Federation Cup. She stares at a maximum ban period of four years if she is proven guilty. Another Asian Games medalist Hammer Thrower Manju Bala was also on the list …
