#Quartermiler #Vismaya #receives #year #suspension #NADA #panel">Quarter-miler Vismaya receives two year suspension from NADA panel Asian Games 4x400m relay gold-winning quarter-miler V.K. Vismaya has been handed two-year suspension by the NADA’s Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel, nearly two years after she tested positive for a banned substance.
Vismaya, who was a part of the Indian women’s quartet that won gold in 4x400m relay in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, was provisionally suspended by the NADA in 2024 after her urine sample was found to contain Clomiphene, which comes under the hormone and metabolic modulators category, and is prohibited at all times.
Her sample was collected at her home at Perumbavur, near Kochi, in an out-of-competition test on August 15, 2024 and the NADA had informed the athlete about her dope flunk the following month.
She had later claimed that she had submitted Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) during dope sample collection.
Clomiphene is a non-steroidal medication used clinically to induce ovulation in women, and the 29-year-old Vismaya said she had taken it as a fertility drug. She had said she was prescribed the medication by her doctor for a “legitimate medical purpose — pregnancy treatment” and it had nothing to do with her performance.
But the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel (ADDP) in an order passed last month handed her two-year ban effective from October 29, 2024, meaning she will complete her ban period in six months. The ADDP decision was published by the NADA only recently.
Meanwhile, sprinter N. Shanmuga Srinivas has been handed four-year ban by the ADDP from February 6, 2025 for “Evading, Refusing or Failing to Submit to Sample Collection”.
Srinivas is reportedly one of the two athletes who were helped by the former junior national athletics coach N. Ramesh to evade dope tests at the SAI Hyderabad Centre.
Ramesh was initially handed provisional suspension. But, the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel of the NADA lifted the suspension on him last month.

But after losing their series opener on a cold, soggy Monday night against the Minnesota Twins in Minneapolis, the Mariners might be glad to see that the weather forecast is better for the rest of the week.
The Mariners will look to bounce back on Tuesday after the Twins ended Seattle’s four-game winning streak.
“The weather was a little difficult,” Mariners right-hander Luis Castillo said after he started in an 11-4 loss against the Twins on Monday. “The mound was a little wet and a little slippery. There was a fear of sliding and hurting yourself. But I felt like when I wanted to or if I needed to put more velocity on it, I could.”
On Tuesday, the Twins will go for back-to-back victories for the first time since April 11-14. Minnesota also is pursuing its first series win in two weeks, when it took two of three games against the Boston Red Sox.
Twins manager Derek Shelton praised his hitters after they erupted for 11 runs on 12 hits Monday. Kody Clemens homered and drove in five RBIs, and Byron Buxton belted a two-run homer.
Shelton hopes to see more success at the plate from the Twins, who managed only one or two runs four times in their previous five games before Monday’s breakout.
“It’s nice,” Shelton said. “Sometimes, you go through stretches, and (Monday) was a good day, and we seemed to capitalize on a bunch of opportunities. We had a little bit of luck — a ball hit a base — but sometimes you need those things.”
Twins right-hander Joe Ryan (2-2, 3.90 ERA) will make his seventh start of the season. He will look to bounce back from a bumpy performance against the New York Mets, who tagged him for seven runs (four earned) on seven hits in five innings on Thursday. New York won 10-8.
Ryan has 33 strikeouts in 32 1/3 innings this season. Opponents have only a .208 batting average against him, average along with a .265 on-base percentage and a .367 slugging percentage for an OPS of .632.
This will be Ryan’s sixth career start against Seattle. In his previous five outings, he is 1-3 with a 4.13 ERA and has struck out 32 batters in 24 innings.
Seattle will counter with right-hander Logan Gilbert (1-3, 4.36), who also will make his seventh start of the season. Gilbert will seek to recover from his shortest stint of the season on Wednesday, as he allowed three runs on six hits in four innings in a no-decision vs. the Athletics. The Mariners won 5-4.
Gilbert is 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA in five career starts against the Twins. He has not faced them since the 2024 season, when he went 0-1 with a 9.00 ERA against Minnesota.
Cal Raleigh will look to stay hot at the plate for the Mariners. He homered in Monday’s series opener, which marked his seventh home run of the season and his fifth in the past seven games.
The Twins are 8-6 at home this season; Seattle is 4-9 on the road.

#UTT #auction #Szocs #costliest #pick #joins #Dempo #Goa #Challengers #Ultimate #Table #Tennis #season">UTT 2026 auction: Szocs becomes costliest pick, joins Dempo Goa Challengers for Ultimate Table Tennis season 7
Big names commanded bigger bids as franchises zeroed in on proven performers and emerging Indian talent at the Ultimate Table Tennis Season 7 player auction on Tuesday, with Bernadette Szocs topping the charts.
Szocs, snapped up by Dempo Goa Challengers for 40 lakh tokens, headlined a list of marquee acquisitions that underlined the premium on experience. Close behind was Diya Chitale, who became the highest-valued Indian for the second successive year, joining PBG Pune Jaguars for 37.4 lakh tokens. Her mixed doubles partner, Manush Shah, wasn’t far behind, picked up by U Mumba TT for 37.2 lakh.
If Pune and U Mumba invested in Indian mainstays, UP Prometheans, the league debutant, went big on balance, pairing Manav Thakkar (36 lakh) with two-time league MVP Yangzi Liu (32 lakh) to assemble arguably the most formidable core on paper.
