Vijender ordered to take drugs test
INDIA'S boxing pin-up boy Vijender Singh was yesterday ordered by the sports ministry to take an immediate out-of-competition test after police said he had used heroin on several occasions.
Singh, whose middleweight bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics helped raise boxing's profile in India, landed in trouble after last month's US$24 million drug haul in northern Punjab state when a fellow boxer told investigators he and Singh consumed heroin supplied by the drug dealer. Singh has denied the claim but Punjab Police on Sunday said the 27-year-old boxer had taken heroin on 12 occasions, prompting the sports ministry to ask the National Anti-Doping Agency to carry out a test on him.
