New Delhi, Jul 1 (PTI) A teary-eyed quarter-miler Mandeep Kaur, who flunked an out-of-competition dope test conducted by the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), today denied taking any steroids knowingly.
"I am in the International Registered Testing Pool of the WADA after the Asian Games and I am not a mad person that I would take steroids to enhance performance.
"Steroids remain inside the body for three months and how can any athlete who is in the international testing pool take drugs," Mandeep, who had won gold in Commonwealth and Asian Games 4x400m relay, told reporters.
Mandeep has been suspended and faces a two-year ban after flunking an out-of-competition dope test.
The ''B'' samples of the athletes returned positive for anabolic steroids in the tests conducted by IAAF.
Her ''B'' sample had adverse analytical findings for epimethandiol, metabolites of methandienone and stanozo
.
Mandeep said she suspected that the banned substances were present in the food supplements and vitamins that she had taken from outside the NIS Patiala where they had been training. .
