India's Commonwealth Games weightlifting gold medal winner Ravi Kumar Katulu has been banned for four years after failing a drug test. The AFP told media that the 31-year-old Kumar, who won the 69kg title at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and a silver in 2014 (77kg), tested positive for Ostarine. Ostarine helps increase muscle mass and is publicly unavailable. Ravi was suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).
