Chandigarh: Boxer Ram Singh has been expelled from National Institute of Sports, Patiala in the wake of allegations against him and Olympic medallist Vijender Singh in the Rs 130 crore drug haul case. NIS director on Sunday said that "Ram was brought in on Vijender's recommendation." Ram Singh earlier in the day admitted that Vijender and he took drugs but by mistake. Meanwhile, Punjab Police has said they were in touch with the peddler Anup Singh Kahlon and were experimenting with drugs for the last three months. "Vijender took drugs two or three times thinking that they were food supplements. When we found out they were drugs we were shocked and stopped taking them," said Ram. Meanwhile, citing World Anti-Doping Agency rules, the boxing federation said that no action can be taken against Vijender. The agency said, "We are bound by the WADA rules. Unless it is proved medically or in a WADA test that any boxer took drugs we cannot initiate any action against Vijender Singh."
Earlier, sources said that both the boxers may get a clean chit in the Rs 130 crore drug haul case as investigations suggest they had no role in smuggling. The police is reportedly doubtful whether traces of heroin will now be found in their blood stream. This despite boxer Ram Singh's admission that both he and Olympic medallist Vijender Singh took drugs but thinking they were food supplements. "Vijender took drugs two or three times thinking that they were food supplements. When we found out they were drugs we were shocked and stopped taking them," Ram told CNN-IBN. Ram also said that Vijender met with the arrested drug peddler Anup Singh Kahlon. Vijender, India's Olympic hero, is likely to be questioned by the Punjab Police in connection with the mutli-crore drug haul. via Top Stories - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNEu999akPOWBAYnhKKdJ1MAfW54JA&url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/boxer-ram-singh-expelled-from-nis-patiala/377796-5-23.html | |||
