It’s hard to get over Kartik Kumar’s suspension due to doping, says Gulveer Singh

Even as he targets to win medals in the Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games in 2026, Asian champion in 5000m and 10000m Gulveer Singh finds it hard to get over his mentor and former training partner Kartik Kumar’s suspension due to doping.

Asian Games 10000m silver medallist Kartik, who trained with Gulveer and others in Colorado Springs under coach Scott Simmons, accepted a three-year suspension after testing positive for a banned substance earlier this year.
