Doping Commonwealth Games

Vijay Sharmas way of controlling is very unique. Hes perhaps the only high profile coach in India who cooks to keep doping away.

With the latest dope flunk, the women's 4x100m relay team for the 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games has been left with just four members

The 24-year-old Dhanalakshmi returned positive for a banned steroid in a dope test conducted abroad by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) of the World Athletics.

Indian wrestler Sumit Malik has decided to challenge the two-year ban imposed on him by the sport's world body for failing a dope test and seek a lesser punishment so that he can compete in next year's Commonwealth Games and defend his title.

Sanjita Chanu expressed elation as she is set to receive Arjuna Award for 2018 after being cleared of the doping charge.

Sanjita Chanu had won back-to-back gold medals in the 2014 and 2018 Commonwealth Games in the 48kg and 53kg categories respectively.

Two-time Commonwealth Games gold-medallist K Sanjita Chanu is set to demand compensation from the IWF for causing her mental harassment as she still awaits the final verdict on her long-running dope case

Seema won a silver medal in the 2017 Commonwealth Championships and finished sixth in the women's 75kg competition at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018.

Weightlifter Ravi Kumar Katulu had won the 69kg title at the 2010 Commonwealth Games and a silver in 2014 (77kg).

Chanu had lifted a total of 192 kilograms to win her second Commonwealth Games gold medal in the women's 53kg category, setting a new meet record in the snatch along the way.

In a huge relief for India's Commonwealth Games contingent, its boxers were cleared of any doping violation

The Indian contingent has been insistent that there has been no wrongdoing on its part.

The lifters were tested by the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) during five domestic tournaments and also out-of-competition. The IWF did not disclose details about the banned substances used but revealed the tainted lifters included 2006 Commonwealth Games gold medallist Geeta Rani.

Commonwealth Games (2006) gold medallist weightlifter Geeta Rani (Punjab), Harjeet Kaur (Haryana), Komal Wakale (Maharashtra) and Mangte P Kom (Chandigarh) were the weightlifters who tested positive while hammer thrower KM Rachna (Punjab) also failed dope test.

Along with the new-found cleaner image, something the Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) had been searching for years, came a reasonable amount of success on the mat as well, with the country's lifters bagging as many as 12 medals at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland, earlier this year.
