India's first Asian Games gold-winning heptathlete Swapna Barman has been provisionally suspended by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA) after testing positive for a banned substance and disciplinary proceedings against her will go ahead despite her recent decision to retire.
The 29-year-old Shivpal, who also competed at the Tokyo Olympics, tested positive for a banned substance in an out-of-competition test earlier this year.
