The Badminton World Federation: Defending champion shuttler Pramoad Bhagat expressed his sadness about missing the upcoming Paralympic Games in Paris following his 18-month suspension due to anti-doping regulation violations on Tuesday.

The Badminton World Federation (BWF) confirmed on Tuesday that India’s Tokyo 2020 Paralympic champion Bhagat has been suspended for a period of 18 months and will miss the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. His period of ineligibility is now in effect.
