The disciplinary panel of the Athletics Federation of India yesterday adjourned the hearing into the doping cases of quarter-milers Mandeep Kaur and Juana Murmu till July 20.

Mandeep and Juana, who failed in out-of-competition tests of International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), were represented by their advocates Sandeep Khatri and Rajat Bharadwaj.

"Their lawyers wanted the documentation of samples, but since these reports were not available with us we had to adjourn the hearing. The documents couldn't be done due to technical reasons," said ML Dogra, director of AFI.
