Shailaja tests positive

New Delhi: Shailaja Pujari, one of India's gold medal prospects in the Melbourne Commonwealth Games, has tested positive for a banned drug.

She tested positive during a random out-of-competition test conducted by WADA officials in Patiala recently.

This is the second time that Shailaja has been under the scanner for doping. The lifter was banned by the National body for two years after she tested positive in a junior national competition in 2003. — PTI
