First Doping Case at Asian Games: Thai Badminton Player Suspended
The International Testing Agency (ITA) has announced the suspension of Thai badminton player Pitchamon Opatniputh (19) after she tested positive for furosemide, a banned diuretic. This is the first doping case in the ongoing Asian Games. Opatniputh, a former world junior champion, faces a provisional suspension and may miss the rest of the competition. The Thai delegation has requested analysis of her B-sample and suggested that the positive result might be due to anti-inflammatory medication.6 sourcesSee all sources
