This decision came after she reportedly did not pass World Athletics' sex development differences test, indicating higher levels of male hormones.

This condition increases the risk of failing doping tests, leading to her exclusion. The Indian Olympic Organization recently confirmed this development, preventing Abha from competing in the upcoming Paris Games.
