The test results would be available in 15 to 20 days, according to Dr. Asad Abbas, the head doctor of the national contingent. According to prior reports, samples were obtained from two hockey players, swimmer Haseeb, and Anila as soon as they arrived in Birmingham.
According to earlier reports, samples were obtained from two hockey players, swimmer Haseeb, and Anila as soon as they arrived in Birmingham. It is significant to note that Pakistan has sent 103 participants, including para-athletes, to Birmingham to compete in 13 different sports.
