Vinesh Phogat

The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has issued a notice to the two-time World Championships medallist wrestler Vinesh Phogat for failure to comply with the whereabout clause requirement.

On June 27, a doping control officer (DCO) visited the address in Partap Colony, Sonipat, but Vinesh was not present at the location and could not be reached via phone.

The DCO spent over 40 minutes trying to reach her and also called her husband Somvir Rathee, but there was no response from his side as well, The Tribune said in a report on Thursday.

NADA's project officer Ankush Gupta has requested a response from Phogat regarding her non-compliance with the ADR's whereabouts requirements. Vinesh has 14 days to respond to this notice.
