Rajendra Bahadur Bhandari

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rahendra Bahadur Bhandari (born 14 November 1975) is a Nepalese athlete and soldier who has won 2 silver medals in 9th Asian Games and 2 gold medals in 10th Asian Games.

He has been part of a scandal where he has tested positive for Deca Durabolin. This has caused a bigger controversy in the usage of anabolic steroids in Nepal.[1] In 2007 Bhandari was found guilty of norandrosterone doping. The sample was delivered on 25 August 2006 in an in-competition test at the 2006 South Asian Games. He received an IAAF suspension from September 2006 to September 2008. [2]
