"Of course, yes," the 26-year-old told PTI when asked if she has unfinished business at the Asian Games.
The bronze has been gone for nearly two years. The memory of winning it has not. Neither has the feeling of what followed.
Parveen was suspended by WADA for 22 months in May 2024 after three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period. The suspension, later backdated by 14 months, cost her the Asian Games medal and the
