Young javelin thrower Rohit Yadav is set to be stripped of the silver medal that he won at the Asian Youth Athletics championship after he tested positive for a banned substance.
The 16-year-old Yadav, a 2016 World School Games gold medallist, was placed under provisional suspension after his &lsquo;A&rsquo; sample returned positive for &lsquo;stanozolol&rsquo;.
"Rohit has tested positive for stanozolol and he has been placed under provisional suspension," said a top AFI official.
"It is just &lsquo;A&rsquo; sample right now and AFI got the results of the test on May 23, that is final day of the Asian Youth Athletics Championship in Bangkok. AFI didn&rsquo;t know about the dope result and so he was sent," he added.
It was an in-competition test, which was conducted last month during the National Youth Championship in Hyderabad.
The second Asian Youth Athletics Championship was held at Bangkok, Thailand from May 20-23.
