## Additional Cases Reported
Further athletes named in reporting on India’s pre-Games doping cases include N. Ajith, Sairaj Pardeshi, Harcharan Singh, Vanshita Verma, Arun Kumar and Tulika Maan, the latter suspended for failing to furnish required whereabouts information rather than a positive test.
## A Separate Disciplinary Case
Aman Sehrawat’s one-year suspension for a weight infraction at a world championships event is a distinct case, unrelated to doping, but is worth noting alongside this list given its similar impact on India’s wrestling squad.
## The Bottom Line
Twelve or more athletes affected across four sports represents one of the more significant off-field storylines of India’s Asian Games 2026 build-up. This list reflects official actions and reporting available at the time of publication.
