SOME RELIEF FOR INDERJEET

NEW DELHI: The dope sample of shot putter Inderjeet Singh taken on June 29 during the National Inter-State Athletics Championships in Hyderabad has returned clean but the case relating to his earlier A sample which came out positive still stands, according to sources. Inderjeet’s A sample taken out of competition on June 22 had returned positive on Monday for a cocktail of steroids and he has been told by NADA to have his B sample tested within seven days, failing which his dope failure will be confirmed. It has now emerged that the sample taken on June 29 has returned negative, but sources said NADA will proceed on the June 22 dope flunk case.

Inderjeet is one of those athletes who does not train at the national camps but on his own with a personal coach.
