Kaur, who had won gold in the recently concluded 22nd Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar will have to appear for a hearing,but is unlikely to be put under provisional suspension now. Though the athlete is likely to participate in the World Championships in London, she might be stripped of her AAC Gold medal if her urine sample B also tests positive.
