Commonwealth Games-Bound Indian Track And Field Athlete Fails Dope Test: Report
A member of the CWG-bound women's 4x100m relay team is set be withdrawn from the Indian squad after testing positive for a banned drug. No official is willing to confirm the name of the dope offender. "A member of the relay team bound for CWG has tested positive and she will be withdrawn," a top source told PTI without elaborating. With the latest dope flunk, the women's 4x100m relay team has been left with just four members. If an injury happens to the remaining four members, somebody from other track events may have to be roped in, which, may affect the team's performance. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) had initially named Dutee Chand, Hima Das, Srabani Nanda, NS Simi, Sekar Dhanalakshmi and MV Jilna in the 37-member Indian athletics squad.

My fight is with myself at the Commonwealth Games: Mirabai Chanu
Commonwealth Games (CWG) gold at Birmingham 2022. CWG has traditionally been a happy hunting ground for lifters from India, and Mira has no qualms about admitting that, even when asked if it is because of the absence of weightlifting powerhouses China and Korea. "Yes, (when compared to other events) the competition in weightlifting is a bit less in CWG, but it's not that the absence of strong weightlifting nations makes it easier for us. Every competition teaches us something," said Mira, as she sat down for a virtual interaction with TimesofIndia.com.It was heartening to see a beaming Mira on the podium in Tokyo last year, especially considering the condition she found herself in after the two-month lockdown in the middle of 2020. It left coach Vijay Sharma worried once training resumed. The shoulders weren't as strong as before and the back not strong enough to lift the weights that Mira found easy before Covid-19 stopped practice.
