World Archery on Monday upgraded Jyothi Surekha Vennam’s bronze medal won at the 2025 Archery World Cup to silver after Mexico’s Marina Bernal was disqualified for violating anti-doping regulations.
Bernal tested positive for the prohibited substance nandrolone following an out-of-competition doping control conducted by the International Testing Agency on 29 September 2025. Nandrolone is prohibited at all times under the WADA Prohibited List as S1.1 Anabolic Androgenic Steroids.
Since Bernal did not challenge the anti-doping rule violation and, due to an early admission, she received a one-year reduction in the period of ineligibility under article 10.8.1 of the World Archery Anti-Doping Rules. The decision maybe challenged at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The sanctions are as follows:
A three-year ineligibility period from 22 December, 2025 to 21 December, 2028.
Disqualification of the athlete’s individual competitive results from the date of sample collection (29 September 2025) until the start of the provisional suspension (22 December 2025), which includes the 2025 Hyundai Archery World Cup Final.
After Jyothi was upgraded to the silver medal, Great Britain’s Ella Gibson was awarded the bronze medal.
Revised Standings:
Andrea Becerra (Mexico) – Gold
Jyothi Surekha Vennam (India) – Silver
Ella Gibson (Great Britain) – Bronze
