 The Naional Anti-doping Agency (NADA) had carried out a detailed inquiry and the girls and the coach were heard. The disciplinary committe

•  has banned the 6 girls for a period of one year. the effect of the ban is quite telling as the girls for all practical purposes will not be able to take part in the London Olympics. The NADA ban is effective from the date the girls tested positive
• The sad part is that only 2 girls Mandeep and murmu can try and qualify  for the London Olympics  as the Olympic trials will take place from 24 to 27 June, 2012.
• The inquiry committee came round to the conclusion that the main culprit was the Ukranian Coach Yuri Ogorodnik who was appointed by the National Institute of Sports, Patiala.
• Thus the girls who would hav enormally got a 5 year ban, ended up with a year ban.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), French: Agence mondiale antidopage, is an independent foundation created through a collective initiative led by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). It was set up on November 10, 1999 in Lausanne, Switzerland, as a result of what was called the "Declaration of Lausanne",^[1] to promote, coordinate and monitor the fight against drugs in sport.

•  Its current President is former Australian finance minister John Fahey, who in 2008 succeeded Dick Pound, a former IOC vice-president and outspoken opponent of drugs in sport.
• In 2001, WADA voted to move its headquarters to Montreal, Canada, the following year.
• Initially funded by the International Olympic Committee, WADA now receives half of its budgetary requirements from them, with the other half coming from various governments throughout the world.
• Its governing bodies are also composed in equal parts by representatives from the sporting movement (including athletes) and governments of the world.
• The agency's key activities include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities and monitoring of the World Anti-Doping Code – the document harmonizing regulations regarding anti-doping in all sports and countries.
