Monika’s B sample to be tested abroad

New Delhi: The true picture in the Monika Devi doping saga may finally see the light of the day with the Sports Ministry on Monday deciding to get the lifter’s Sample B tested abroad.

In a letter to the Scientific Director of the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL), the Ministry referred to the T.S. Krishna Murthy report on the saga and sought testing of Monika’s B sample in the World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory in Tokyo.

“As recommended by T.S. Krishna Murthy, it has been decided that the B-sample kept with NDTL in respect of Monika Devi should be examined by an accredited laboratory outside India for immediate analysis. This work may be entrusted to the accredited laboratory in Japan,” the Ministry said.

The Ministry also asked the official to find out if Monika would like to be present herself at the time of testing or would send a representative, the cost of which would be borne by the government. — PTI
