Wrestling Athlete Suspended for Multiple Whereabouts Failures
Sport Integrity Canada announced today that Amarveer Dhesi, a wrestling athlete, received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. The athlete had three confirmed whereabouts failures during a 12-month period.
In response to Sport Integrity Canada’s notification of the anti-doping rule violation, the athlete requested a hearing to determine the violation and whether the proposed sanction period should be eliminated or reduced. On June 9, 2026, Arbitrator Carol Roberts confirmed the violation and imposed a two-year sanction. As provisional suspension was imposed on the athlete, the sanction ends on March 30, 2028.
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 hearing and appeal decisions can be found at the Sport Dispute Resolution Centre of Canada (SDRCC).
