GOLDMEDALLIST LIFTER CHANU IN DOPING TROUBLE

NEW DELHI: Indian weightlifting was hit by a fresh doping row after the International Weightlifting Federation said on its website that K Sanjita Chanu, the women’s 53kg gold medallist at the Gold Coast Games, had tested positive for testosterone, an anabolic steroid. It wasn’t clear which competition the test had been carried out in, although Sahdev Yadav, IWF general secretary, said a top lifter had failed dope test during the World Championships in the US.
