Indian Grand Prix 1: Hima Das to return after NADA panel gives green signal

India's star sprinter Hima Das will return to action at the Indian Grand Prix 1 Kanteerava Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday after being given the green signal by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) disciplinary panel following a hearing last month.

Last year, NADA had temporarily suspended 24-year-old Hima after she failed to inform her whereabouts thrice in 12 months. Hima's name has been included in the entry list of the women's 200m race for the Indian Grand Prix 1 to be held on Today by the Athletics Federation of India (AFI).

Hima won the 400m individual silver medal at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games. She was part of the gold medal-winning women's 4x400m and silver medal-winning mixed 4x400m relay quartets in Jakarta. But, due to injury, this Assam runner was not included in the Hangzhou Asian Games last year.

List of Athletes participating in Indian Grand Prix 1:

Shaili Singh (Long Jump), Nayana James (Long Jump), Hima Das (200m), Tajinderpal Singh Toor (Shot Put), Manu DP (Javelin Throw), Prasad Bhoi (100m), Gurkirat Singh (100m), Shankar Lal Swami (3000m Steeplechase), Bal Kishan (3000m Steeplechase), Mohammed Afsal (800m), Srabani Nanda (100m, 200m).
