Aizawl, May 18 (UNI) A two-year ban has been imposed on Mizo boxer and world champion Jenny R Lalremliana for testing positive of banned drugs during the National Games in Guwahati recently.

The other dope offenders, who will be punished by the Indian Olympic Association under WADA Rules, include male boxer Tarundeep Rai, two weightlifters, two athletes, a woman wrestler, one kabaddi player and a cyclist.
