We want medals but with honour: Gill
New Delhi: Sports Minister MS Gill slammed dope flunked athletes who have caused a major embarrassment to the country barely a month before the Commonwealth Games saying that India do not want dope tainted medals.

"We want medals but we want them with honour. Federations should launch education for sports people. Sports Ministers of states should also look into this." he said on Tuesday.

Eighteen athletes have been caught for using banned substances in the past few days under NADA tests.

The 'B' samples of the six wrestlers turned out to be positive for stimulant methylhexanamine, which was added as a banned substance only this year by World Anti-Doping Agency.
