By Unnikrishnan

Bengaluru, July 20: Indian shot putter Manpreet Kaur will miss next month's World Athletics Championships in London after testing positive for banned substances for the second time in a couple of days, the AFI said on Thursday (July 20).

Manpreet's urine sample 'A' collected during the first leg of the Asian Grand Prix at Jinhua (China) on April 24 has also been found to have stimulant dimethylbutylamine in it.

This stimulant dimethylbutylamine was the same one which was found in her urine sample 'A' taken during the Federation Cup National Championships at Patiala.

"She (Manpreet) has tested positive again for a steroid and the stimulant (dimethylbutylamine). She has been handed provisional suspension by the AFI. She will now be dropped from World Championships team," said Athletics Federation of India president Adille Sumariwalla.

The IAAF World Championships will be hosted by London from August 5 to 13. Manpreet won a gold medal in the recently-concluded Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar.
