'She didn't disclose her whereabouts': JFI chief confirms Tulika Maan's CWG withdrawal
JFI president Mukesh Kumar confirmed Tulika Maan's withdrawal from the 2026 Glasgow Commonwealth Games due to alleged whereabouts failures.
Tulika Maan, silver medallist in women's +78kg at the 2022 Commonwealth Games, did not disclose her whereabouts to NADA for drug testing.
The development follows 73kg judoka Arun Kumar's disqualification after a failed dope test.
NADA has called Tulika Maan for a hearing, and JFI is awaiting the decision.
Indian athletes Hima Das and Parveen Hooda previously faced sanctions for similar whereabouts rule violations.
