The euphoria of bagging a medal was short-lived for Haryana runner, Dharambir. as his win in the men 100 metres dash of the 52nd Senior Inter-State Athletics Championships at Gachibowli Stadium on Saturday came to a naught. The Athletics Federation of India (AFI) provisionally suspended him pending an enquiry for evading the dope test immediately after the race. Adille J Sumariwalla, President of AFI said action would be taken against the erring athlete and the federation will not tolerate the doping-menace anymore.
He said that in future action will be taken not only against erring athletes, but also against their coaches. UNI
