The Anti-Doping Organization has banned four kabaddi players for four years after they refused to undergo doping tests during the National Championship in Lahore.

 

The organisation issued a notification in this regard after Obaidullah Rajput, Malik Bin Yamin, Rana Haider and Kashif Sindhu refused to take the tests.

 

The Pakistan Kabaddi Federation’s Disciplinary Committee has summoned a meeting on January 12 in Lahore, where all four players will appear to present their case.

 

Earlier in December 2025, the federation faced controversy when Obaidullah also played for an Indian kabaddi team, wearing their jersey and waving the Indian flag at a tournament in Bahrain.

 

Federation Secretary Rana Sarwar clarified that 16 Pakistani players participated in the Bahrain tournament without representing Pakistan's national team. 

 

The federation had neither granted permission for their participation nor issued No Objection Certificates (NOCs).
