Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw is currently under a doping ban. But once penance is served, it is possible to become a champion again.
The use of strength-building stimulants by athletes dates back to ancient Greece, but in those days, there was no testing. Since drug tests became the norm in the 1960s, many sportsmen have been banned for ingesting performance-enhancing substances. Currently, India batsman Prithvi Shaw is serving an eight month-ban for failing a drug test. He’d be glad to know that a few athletes made successful comebacks after dope bans.
