No dope shame but needles could land Indians in trouble at CWG
Agency
Gold Coast: The Indian Commonwealth Games contingent could be in trouble amid speculation that its boxers possessed syringes in violation of the event’s ‘no needle policy’ but the country is believed to have steered clear of any doping embarrassment.
Commonwealth Games Federation CEO David Grevemberg, in a press conference here, said the CGF has initiated an investigation into the matter but did not name India as the target of the probe.
Grevemberg said the CGF was in talks with the concerned Commonwealth Games Association amid spiralling speculation that Indian boxers are the ones under the scanner in this case.
The Games are due to start April 5 after an opening ceremony on April 4.
