Anti-Doping Violations

Madanamoothoo's career has been marred by two anti-doping violations. The first occurred in 2014 when he was only 14 years old, resulting in disqualification from the African Youth (YOG Qualification) Championships in the 69 kg category.

The second violation took place in 2022, where he faced sanctions for evading an anti-doping test. This incident has raised concerns about the integrity of the sport and has had implications on Madanamoothoo's reputation within the weightlifting community.
