Controversy | Banned for doping In February 2015, he was banned for two years for failing a random dope test. National Anti-Doping Agency found that the banned substance was the result of an injection by a doctor to treat Jarmanpreet's back pain in December 2014 and was not an intentional use of the drug. In an interview, he talked about feeling depressed by the ban and receiving support from his family and said, "I was told to practice alone, and I wasn’t allowed to play any matches, so it was very difficult for me to cope with all that stuff, but my family made me believe that everything is possible and I have to just trust my abilities and hard work. Those two years were like 20 years for me and I overcame that tough time because of my family and the blessings of God." |
