Prior to the doping test, the sample was found to contain Terbutaline - which is said to be one of the WADA Prohibited List of Substances. Hence, Shaw was charged with the commission of an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) under the BCCI Anti-Doping Rules (ADR) Article 2.1 on July 16, 2019, and hence suspended.
Likewise, 19-year-old Prithvi Shaw responded that he took the drug because of consuming an over-the-counter syrup for his cough. BCCI found it satisfactory and hence put forth a back-dated suspension of eight-month and hence he won't be able to play until November 15, 2019. As per BCCI guidelines, Shaw may return from September 15, 2019.
