Sports Drug Testing & Drug Abuse
Sports Game Drug Testing
MELBOURNE'S Commonwealth Games will go down in history as one of the cleanest major competitions after the completion of drug testing last night.
The Herald Sun understands that of the 1100 tests carried out in the build-up, and during the Games, only three positive tests were returned.
No more positive tests have been returned, according to the Games federation's medical commission which finalised testing yesterday.
"We can confirm that all tests have now been carried out and results have shown three anti-doping violations," a Games federation spokesman said last night.
The three violations were returned from two Indian weightlifters with one of the lifters testing positive twice to anabolic steroids within days.
Edwin Raju and Tejinder Singh face lifetime bans from the sport while the entire Indian weightlifting federation has been suspended indefinitely. The lifters returned positive samples to stanozolol. (continues below...)

It's the same banned substance with which disgraced sprinter Ben Johnson returned a positive test at the Seoul Olympics almost two decades ago.
But there were questions raised last night whether the testing procedures and technology were keeping up with drug cheats in sport.
It's surprising only two athletes returned positive samples considering 1100 tests were carried out.
The Games federation says the drug testing process was the most robust program undertaken at a Commonwealth Games.
But the federation is certain to change aspects of the drug testing procedure because of the lengthy time it has taken for tests to be returned and made public.
It's likely an athlete who tests positive at future Games will be named following their A sample.
In Melbourne, the Games federation couldn't make any public statements on athletes who had tested positive until testing of the B sample was completed.
The federation was heavily criticised for lack of transparency and there were even claims of a cover-up because of the abnormally long process.
And there are pressures on Delhi's organising committee to get its drug testing procedures in order for the 2010 Games.
The Games federation is seriously concerned with the lack of drug testing resources in India and has called on Delhi organisers to build a drug laboratory before 2010.
