Two Indian athletes were today ordered out of the Commonwealth Games for breaching the ‘no needle policy’.
Race walker KT Irfan and Triple Jumper V Rakesh Babu were ordered to return home after they failed to explain the presence of needles in their bedroom at the Games Village.
Their testimonies, swearing innocence were declared evasive and unreliable by the Commonwealth Games Federation court.
Athletics Federation of India Secretary CK Valson said, there will be an inquiry after the Games and it will be time-bound.
While Irfan was already through with his 20 kms race walk event, finishing 13th, Rakesh Babu was to participate in today’s Triple Jump Final.
