B.Erdenezul, who competed in the women’s weightlifting competition, has been provisionally suspended by the International Testing Agency  after being found to have violated anti-doping rules.

The ITA has announced that the 19-year-old lifter returned an adverse analytical finding for drostanolone metabolite, a steroid that is on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list.

The sample in question was collected by the ITA during an out-of-competition anti-doping test conducted on October 1.

It came a day after she competed in Group B of the women’s 55 kilograms category where she placed 12th following a snatch lift of 70kg and a clean and jerk of 87kg for a total of 157kg.

It is the first time the  International Testing Agency is supporting the anti-doping programme at an Asian Games after signing a partnership with the OCA last year.
