Top Indian athlete Aishwarya Mishra’s 400mt Bronze Medal at 2023 Asian Championships will be upgraded to Silver as original second-place finisher Farida Soliyeva of Uzbekistan failed a dope test.
Soliyeva’s urine sample collected on July 13, 2023 during the Asian Athletics Championships in Bangkok last year, contained prohibited substance Meldonium and the Athletics Integrity Unit, the international federation’s body for combating doping, disqualified all her results from that date.
“The A.I.U. has banned Farida Soliyeva (Uzbekistan) for 3 years from 13 September 2023 for Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Meldonium). DQ (disqualify) results from 13 July 2023,” the A.I.U. said.
