Gold Coast: Indian boxers cleared of doping charges at CWG 2018 but will remain under the scanner for breaching 'no needle' policy as PTI reported.

 However it is a huge relief for India's Commonwealth Games contingent but still, The Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) 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 today, said the CGF, but clarified that there was no doping offence involved in the matter. The CGF 'no needle policy' disallow 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.

However, the CGF insists that athletes should take aforementioned permissions, failing which can result in indeterminate sanctions.

A hearing will now take place in front of the CGF's Federation Court, the organization’s disciplinary body, to decide a possible punishment.

Earlier to the CGF meeting here, there was a sense that the Indian contingent could be in trouble amid reports that its boxers possessed syringes in breaching of the event's 'no needle policy'.
