New Delhi: Six top athletes who were involved in the recent dope scandal, including Asian Games double gold medallist Ashwini Akkunji, today appeared before the NADA Disciplinary Panel which adjourned the case for September 14.
Besides Akkunji, those who appeared before the Dinesh Dayal-headed panel were her 4X400m relay team-mates Mandeep Kaur and Sini Jose and three other quartermilers Juana Murmu, Priyanka Panwar and Tiana Mary Thomas.
