National Jr Athletics: Mor first to be found overage, disqualified

By Navneet Singh New Delhi, Feb 7 : Haryana 10km race walker Paramdeep Mor on Sunday became the first athlete to be found overage and disqualified in the ongoing National Junior Athletics Championships in Guwahati.
In the morning session of the second day of the meet, Mor won silver medal in the 10km race walk event in the boys’ under-20 category.
“After we got medical report from the lab we found that Mor wasn’t eligible to compete in the junior section. Therefore, the result was revised. The Athletics Federation of India has zero tolerance towards overage,” competition manager Nitin Arya told IANS.
According to revised result, Manipur’s Ningthoukhongja was declared second while Assam’s Bikram Das was elevated to the third place.
It was a setback for Haryana as the second athlete in fray, Gulshan, didn’t start the race.
Earlier, in January Mor, had won silver in Junior Federation Cup in Bhopal.
