Top Bangladeshi weightlifter, Mabia Akter has been banned for two years after testing positive in a doping test.
The test was conducted before Islamic Solidarity Games in Saudi Arabia last year.
According to a report by South Asia Regional Anti-Doping Organization and World Anti-Doping Agency, banned substances were found in her sample.
Mabia denied any wrongdoing, saying she took medicine for knee pain and allergies with a doctor’s advice.
She plans to appeal the decision within 14 days, claiming she had a valid prescription.
