Rani Yadav, India's 20-km road race walker, has tested positive for a banned anabolic agent and been provisionally suspended from the Commonwealth Games.

A statement from the CGF said the athlete, who finished sixth in the walk race conducted on October 8, would either attend or will be represented at a provisional hearing before the Commonwealth Games Federation Court later today.

An Indian athlete had returned an adverse analytical finding, said the Commonwealth Games federation President Michael Fennell at a media conference this morning.

The CGF has also received confirmation from the Indian Chef de Mission, that the athlete has been duly notified of the result, as per the CGF Anti-Doping Standard (ADS) for the XIX Commonwealth Games.
