Indian judo star Tulika Maan has been withdrawn from the Glasgow-bound squad after a provisional suspension by NADA for three whereabouts failures in a 12-month window. The heavyweight +78kg medal contender, who won silver at Birmingham 2022, was considered one of India’s strongest medal prospects in Glasgow. A judo coach confirmed the NADA action, noting that three whereabouts failures trigger withdrawal under anti-doping rules. Days earlier, Arun Kumar was also pulled from the squad after failing an out-of-competition doping test, intensifying concerns ahead of the Games. The Indian judo team has not yet left for Glasgow, with competition starting July 31 and the contingent due to depart July 27, now reduced in size. The developments come amid broader disruptions to India’s CWG preparations, including other sport withdrawals and roster reductions.
