India Hockey Star To Play In Paris Olympics After Doping Ban "Dark Phase"
A frustrating doping ban jolted Jarmanpreet Singh's career in 2016, but he has long forgotten that bitter episode and the defender is all geared up for his Olympics debut in Paris later this month. Jarmanpreet, a regular member of the Indian hockey team in the last few years, was picked in the 16-member Indian team for the Paris Games. "It was not easy. It was one of my darkest phases, with many uncertainties," said Jarmanpreet on the doping ban from 2016 to 2018. "Players don't usually emerge from a setback like this. To sit out of matches for two years is a big gap in the sport," he recalled.
