A Surrey Olympic wrestler has been suspended for an anti-doping rule violation. <\/p>\n
Sport Integrity Canada announced Thursday (July 30) that wrestling athlete Amarveer Dhesi \u2014 who also goes by Amar Dhesi \u2014 received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. Dhesi had three confirmed whereabouts failures during a 12-month period.<\/p>\n
In response to Sport Integrity Canada\u2019s notification of the anti-doping rule violation, Dhesi requested a hearing to determine the violation and whether the proposed sanction period should be eliminated or reduced, the release shared.<\/p>\n

During the sanction period, the athlete is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) or the World Anti-Doping Code, including coaching or training with teammates, or any other individuals subject to these rules, the release noted. <\/p>\n
