Indian judoka Arun Kumar was withdrawn from the 2026 Commonwealth Games after failing an out-of-competition dope test conducted by NADA.
Arun Kumar, a gold medallist at the 2025 Taipei Asian Open, was ruled ineligible on the day of the Glasgow 2026 opening ceremony.
His withdrawal reduced India's athlete contingent from 125 to 124.
Arun Kumar had been a medal prospect after winning gold at the 2023 Macau Junior Asian Cup and a bronze at the Hong Kong Asian Open.
