Judoka Arun Kumar Banned from Commonwealth Games

Judoka Arun Kumar Banned from Commonwealth Games

Arun Kumar, a judoka from India, was supposed to compete in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

But he got a notice saying he tested positive for a banned substance.

This means he can't compete in the Games.

The organizers were told by the International Judo Federation, and India won't send a replacement.

Arun has competed in big events before and won medals.

Now, he has to reply to the notice in 15 days.

It's sad because India had high hopes for him.
