Indian judo player Dipanshu Balayan has been suspended by the National Anti-Doping Agency's Anti-Doping Discipline Panel for 22 months due to the consumption of banned substance furosemide. Furosemide is a diuretic drug. For the selection of the National Team of the Junior Asian Judo Championship last year, a sample of the player was taken in June due to a trial in Bhopal, which came positive for the banned substance. He had won the trial in the 90 kg category.

NADA has since failed to establish that Balayan intentionally doped, which led the panel to reject the harsh punishment recommendation for doping, which was four years according to Rule 10.2.1. The time of disqualification for this kind of crime is two years, but it was reduced by two months because the player did not get the notice of Nada on time. The time of suspension will now be one year 10 months, which will be applicable from 17 October 2019. When Balayan was temporarily suspended.

The player will have an opportunity to appeal against the punishment in the Nada's Anti-Doping Appeal Panel in the next 21 days. The ADDP panel, with the presence of Chairman Ahna Mehrotra, Jagbir Singh and Dr. PSM Chandran, suggested that the judo player should have informed his doctor that he was the player, and accordingly he should have been given medicine. Furosemide is a diuretic that increases the amount of urine, and which causes weight loss. Due to this, a decision has been taken to suspend him.
