Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shafali Verma served notice for missing dope tests: Sources

India cricketers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shafali Verma have been handed their first “missed test” notices by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), sources told India Today. The notices were issues under the whereabouts failure rule after they were not found at their declared locations for scheduled dope tests.

Both players are part of NADA’s Registered Testing Pool, which requires athletes to provide a specific time slot and location for out-of-competition testing. The BCCI has also been kept in the loop regarding the notices.

According to sources, Yashasvi missed a scheduled test on December 17, while Shafali was unavailable for testing on November 7 last year. Three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period can amount to an anti-doping violation and may result in a ban of up to two years.
