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 "A member of the relay team bound for CWG has tested positive and she will be withdrawn," a top source told PTI without elaborating.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.
