Problems still mar Commonwealth Games in India

dude...the judges are not Indian.....all the judges are always nominated by the commonwealth governing body....so the judge in most cases is not Indian .... but foreign. any mistake on their part does not fall on the organising country. that has to be delt with the governing body

You have the indian officials and then you have the international officials atleast this was the case in the weightlifting where the international judges had to correct the indian judges.

Because most problems/mistakes in the CWG are by officials , how is that derailing the thread?

this thread is about problems in the CWG is it not?
 
That is a lie. CWGs are super and everyone is jealous of Indians ;)

The media is bribed to turn against India

Yes u r right,but it does not seem Pakistan is behind it,they supported as

so i will ask Suresh Kalamadi to vote for Pakistan when they will contest for Kabbadi world cup in the distant future and definitely ask the Indian media to cover up matter's regarding Terrorist attacking athlete's convoy:cheers:
 
The country of Darell Hair talks about umpires of other country. BullSh!t. :)

Enjoy the games fellas, instead of wasting time on cribbing.
 
Is this a Quest to Prove India is Not Perfect, Well Afterall Its the best one could do when there own Country is not entrusted with any thing Leave alone this Big but not even a game of cricket
 
Unnamed Indian athlete tests positive October 13, 2010, 3:05 AM ET

NEW DELHI -- An Indian track and field athlete at the Commonwealth Games has tested positive for the banned steroid nandrolone, becoming the third person in New Delhi in as many days to be caught doping.

Commonwealth Games Federation President Mike Fennell said Wednesday that he could not name the athlete because he is not sure the person has been notified of the positive result.

"We are not able to tell you the name of the athlete, but we can tell you it is in the sport of athletics and the country is India," Fennell said.

Fennell said a hearing has been scheduled for Wednesday afternoon. The athlete could be banned for two years if found guilty.

Over the previous two days, two Nigerian runners were found to be positive for the banned stimulant Methylhexaneamine, with Osayomi Oludamola later stripped of her gold medal in the women's 100-meter race. Hurdler Samuel Okon, who did not win a medal, also tested positive.

Fennell said more than 1,300 doping samples had been collected so far at the games.

"Everyone would concede that to have three doping cases of those 1,300 tests is not a bad record," Fennell said. "And two of those have been concluded for substances that are considered by many to be not in the serious area of doping activity, which is stimulants. This new case has not been heard and I would not want to make any comments on that."

The World Anti-Doping Agency recently loosened the classification of Methylhexaneamine for next year to the "specified stimulant" list, which covers drugs that are more susceptible to inadvertent use and can carry reduced penalties. Sanctions for use of the drug can be reduced if athletes prove they did not intend to enhance performance. Penalties can range from a warning to a two-year ban.

WADA said Methylhexaneamine was sold as a medicine until the early 1970s and has now reappeared in some nutritional supplements and cooking oils.

Nandrolone, however, is a steroid used to enhance performance.

The Commonwealth Games seem to have improved their anti-doping efforts after being criticized by WADA following the games in Melbourne four years ago.

India has excelled at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium at this year's games, and on Tuesday night the country won only its second Commonwealth Games gold medal ever on the track when the women's 400-metter relay team sprinted to victory.

Indians also recorded a sweep of the medals in the women's discus on Monday.

It was not yet clear if the Indian athlete that tested positive was one of the team's 12 medalists.

"It's unfortunate," said organizing committee secretary-general Lalit Bhanot, adding that India's national anti-doping agency is "very serious about this."

"It sends a message that if people are going to use drugs, they will get caught."

The CGF said all medal winners have or will be tested at the games, as well as other athletes at random.
