March 10, 2013 15:43
Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender Singh is unlikely to be tested by the National Anti-Doping Agency despite claims by his sparring partner Ram Singh that the star boxer consumed small amounts of heroin.
Sources in the NADA told PTI that Vijender's case was a matter to be investigated by the police and the anti-doping agency has no role in this. "It's basically a police and narcotics case and the NADA is not in the scene," a top NADA source said.
The source said under the World Anti-Doping Agency Code, the NADA cannot conduct out-of-competition testing to detect consumption of heroin.
