In another scandal to hit Indian Sports, a weightlifter was banned after she was found to have failed a drug test. She has been banned for 2 years on the trot. Kavita usually competes in the 75 kg section. What confirmed her guilt is the fact that she was not willing to take the B sample test.
This also brings back into focus the allegations that a former coach of the Indian Weighlifting team had made when he quit. Magad Salama had accused several senior weightlifters of taking performance inducing drugs. He also had a raging row on this with the federation chiefs before he walked out of his contract.
