Three Iranian athletes have been suspended for doping offenses, the country’s National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) announced.

Football player Omid Abolhassani has been handed a four-year ban after testing positive for prohibited substance higenamine.

Higenamine, which also sometimes labeled as Nelumbo Nucifera Extract as well as Sacred Lotus, has been listed as a prohibited substance by WADA since 2017.

Wrestler Mostafa Ghiasi has been banned for testing positive for the banned substance clenbuterol.

Clenbuterol is an illegal beta-adrenergic. It’s like ephedrine, except much more potent and stays in your body for a day rather than just 4 hours. It is a potent fat loss and muscle preservation agent with side effects.

Iranian woman runner Hadis Sharifi has been also banned for four years after she tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance stanozolol.
