“It is just ‘A’ sample right now and AFI got the results of the test on May 23, that is final day of the Asian Youth Athletics Championship in Bangkok. AFI didn’t know about the dope result and so he was sent,” he added.

It was an in-competition test, which was conducted last month during the National Youth Championship in Hyderabad.
