Shivpal, who took part in the Tokyo Olympics, was placed under provisional suspension in October last year after he failed an out-of-competition test. He had tested positive for the banned substance Metandieonone.
The ban period for the 27-year-old Uttar Pradesh athlete began on October 21 last year and his ineligibility period will be up to October 2025.
In fact, the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel gave the decision in August, and surprisingly there was no detailed order uploaded on the website of the National Anti-Doping Agency.
