Parveen Hooda seeks fresh start at Asian Games after Hangzhou medal miss
Boxer Parveen Hooda is chasing a fresh Asian Games medal. She won bronze in the 57kg class at Hangzhou 2023, plus an Olympic quota, but lost both after a 22-month suspension by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in May 2024 over three whereabouts failures. Her comeback meant a new weight class, injuries and a Commonwealth Games quarterfinal exit. She says she has unfinished business.
