India is set to lose a medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games after bronze medalist boxer Parveen Hooda was suspended for 22 months for whereabouts violations. Parveen had won the bronze medal in the women’s 57kg category at the Asian Games last year, which also earned her an Olympic quota in Paris. However, she was suspended by the International Testing Agency (ITA), the agency responsible for managing the results, earlier this month after failing three times to provide her whereabouts information within 12 months. .
“The ITA confirms that boxer Parveen Hooda has been suspended for a period of 22 months, effective July 16, 2025, after committing three whereabouts failures during a twelve-month period as defined in article 2.4 of the anti-doping rules of the International Boxing Association (IBA ADR)1”, indicates an ITA press release.
“In addition to the period of ineligibility, the athlete’s results obtained between December 11, 2022 and May 17, 2024 are disqualified,” the press release added.
The 2022 Asian Games was delayed by a year due to COVID-19 in China and was held between September 23 and October 8, 2023, which is the period stipulated by the ITA and therefore Parveen will be seen withdraw the bronze medal she won. .
The development means that India’s total number of medals at the 2023 Asian Games will increase from 107 to 106. However, this will not have an impact on the country’s fourth place in the overall medal standings.
In an unprecedented embarrassment for Indian boxing, the country was forced to abandon the women’s Olympic quota in the 57kg category. Commonwealth Games bronze medalist Jaismine Lamboria will fight for the 57kg quota in the final Olympic qualifier, which begins on Friday in Bangkok.
In boxing, a quota is allocated to the country and not to the athlete.
