Gold Coast, April 2 (PTI): In a huge relief for India's Commonwealth Games contingent, its boxers were cleared of any doping violation but they remained under the scanner for breaching the Games' strict 'no needle' policy.
The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) though continued to avoid naming the country involved in the matter, which is highly suspected to be India.
The concerned Commonwealth Games Association has been summoned for a hearing on Tuesday said the CGF but clarified that there was no doping offence involved in the matter.
The CGF 'no needle policy' prohibits the administration of injections without strong medical support.
The policy is relaxed only for athletes requiring prescribed medication or nutritional supplements under the supervision of a medical practitioner.
A hearing will now take place in front of the CGF's Federation Court, the organisation's disciplinary body, to determine a possible punishment.
Prior to the CGF meeting here, there was a feeling that the Indian contingent could be in trouble amid reports that its boxers possessed syringes in violation of the event's 'no needle policy'.
CGF CEO David Grevemberg, in a press conference earlier in the day, said they had initiated an investigation into the matter but did not name India as the target of the probe.
The Games are due to start April 5 after an opening ceremony on April 4. The Indian contingent has been insistent that there has been no wrongdoing on its part.
