Singapore Paralympian Gets 4yr Ban

A Singaporean Para-sprinter Mohammad Khairi Bin Ishak has been banned for 4years for doping prior to the Gold coast Commonwealth Games.
Ishak was to compete in the men’s T47 100 metres final but ruled out because of the positive test.
It has since been clarified that Ishak, who won two medals at last year's World Para Athletics Grand Prix in Beijing, tested positive in an out-of-competition test on March 12.
He has been provisionally suspended since April 6 and was ordered to appear for a hearing in front of a three-man panel at the Anti-Doping Singapore offices on Thursday (April 12).
The panel decided to impose a four-year suspension on Ishak, ruling him out of a possible appearance at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
He will not be free to return to competition until March 2022.
Ishak told the Straits Times he was “surprised and confused” by the positive test, blaming a contaminated protein supplement he had taken as the reason.
There have not been any positive tests announced at Gold Coast 2018.
The drugs-testing programme at the Games were overseen by a "high-integrity partnership" between the CGF, Gold Coast 2018 and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
371 tests were conducted on the back of intelligence reports in the three months preceding the Games.
