New Delhi: India’s Commonwealth Games campaign suffered another major blow with Olympian and Birmingham CWG 2022 silver medalist. Tulika Maan being provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for alleged failures at the venue, ending its participation in Glasgow 2026 without even flying out of India.Sources told TOI that Tulika, one of India’s brightest medal prospects in the women’s judo +78kg category, has accumulated three failures at the venue in a 12-month period, triggering a provisional suspension under the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Code. She has been summoned by NADA and is scheduled to appear before the anti-doping body on Thursday.A venue failure is an anti-doping rule compliance issue that includes filing failures and missed tests. A filing failure occurs when an athlete fails to submit or update the mandatory location information for out-of-competition testing, while a missed test is recorded when a doping control officer is unable to locate the athlete during the stated 60-minute testing window. Any combination of three filing failures or missed tests within 12 months constitutes an anti-doping rule violation and carries a standard two-year sanction unless successfully challenged. Tulika’s provisional suspension comes as another blow to India’s CWG preparations. The Indian contingent has been reduced to 122 athletes, with the heavyweight judoka missing the Games after being provisionally suspended. The Indian judo team is scheduled to leave for Glasgow on July 27, with competitions starting on July 31.The 27-year-old has been one of the main faces of Indian judo in the last decade. Raised by her mother, Delhi Police Inspector Amrita, after losing her father at a young age, Tulika switched from football to judo at the age of eight before rising through the ranks under coach Yashpal Solanki.Her breakthrough moment came at the CWG 2022 in Birmingham, where she won a silver medal in the women’s +78 kg category, becoming only the second Indian judoka to achieve the feat. She then battled through a serious knee injury to qualify for the Paris Olympics, where she represented India as the country’s lone judoka.The provisional suspension now casts a shadow over the career of one of India’s most accomplished judokas, with the final outcome depending on the proceedings before NADA. If confirmed, Tulika could face a suspension of up to two years, dealing a significant blow to her career and India’s future medal hopes.
