Karmakar tweeted, “I unknowingly took it and I don’t know what was its source. I have accepted the provisional suspension to settle the matter with the International Federation without any hassle.” Karmakar’s dope samples were taken out-of-competition by the ITA. The ITA is the independent agency responsible for the anti-doping program of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG).
