You must be wondering that Vinesh Phogat has quit wrestling, then what is the need for her to give a dope test?

If the athlete is not present at the place mentioned in the details given for the doping test, it is considered a failure to give information about whereabouts. On september 9, Vinesh was not present for the dope test at her home in Kharoda village of Sonipat.
The NADA notice said, "You are served a formal notice to inform about the clear failure to comply with the requirements related to the location of the stay under the anti-doping rules. You are invited to explain the same before a final decision is taken on the matter." It further said, "A dope control officer was sent to that place at that time to examine you. However, the officer was unsuccessful in finding you for the test as you were not present there."
