Veteran India goalkeeper Subrata Paul earned a massive reprieve after the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) revoked his provisional suspension, letting him off with a warning with regards to violation of anti-doping rule earlier this year.
The NADA stated that Paul has been able to prove that his dope violation was "not intentional". The regulatory body has directed the AIFF to take action against the national team doctor. The dope sample of Paul was collected on March 18 during a test in Mumbai by NADA.
"In this case, the anti-doping rule violation involves a specified substance and the athlete was able to prove that the dope violation was not intentional. Paul has been reprimanded for anti doping rule violation. His suspension stands revoked with immediate effect," the NADA release stated.
