Rachna Kumari Anti-Doping Rule Violation

Kumari had broken the anti-doping rule twice before. Due to her anti-doping rule violation on March 18, 2015, to March 17, 2019, she was barred for four years. The violation stemmed from the discovery of metenolone in a sample taken on February 10, 2015.

On September 24, of last year, the AIU took two urine samples from her during competition in Patiala, and both of them tested positive for anabolic androgenic steroids.

"The AIU has banned Kumari (K.M.) Rachna (India) for 12 years from 24 November, 2023 for the Presence/Use of a Prohibited Substance (Stanozolol, Metandienone, DHCMT, Clenbuterol). DQ results from 24 September 2023," the AIU said in a tweet.

...and disqualification of the Athlete’s results on and since 24 September 2023, with all resulting Consequences, including the forfeiture of any titles, awards, medals, points prizes and appearance money."

According to the 2023 WADA International Standard for Testing and Investigations, the first urine sample did not contain a specific gravity that was appropriate for analysis, which is why two samples were taken, according to the AUI.

A second drug offense typically carries an eight-year penalty, but due to "aggravating circumstances," the woman received a 12-year suspension instead.

The Adverse Analytical Findings (including the ATFs brought forward as Adverse Analytical Findings) in the samples collected on 24 September 2023 and 1 November 2023 (by the NADA) would be evaluated collectively as a single (second) violation in accordance with Rule 10.9.3(a), the AIU stated in its ruling.
