I request State, Central governments to help: Dutee Chand on her four-year dope ban

Indian sprinter, Dutee Chand, who recently received a four-year ban for failing two doping tests last year, has urged the authorities to help so that she can represent India in various competitions. The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) imposed the ban on Chand after she tested positive for a banned substance. Chand, who denies committing any wrongdoing, said that the medicine she had consumed was for pain relief and she had no idea it was doping. She said that she will challenge the ban and will try hard to qualify for the 2024 Olympics.
