NEW DELHI: The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has admitted to committing a mistake in giving the exact sample collection of Sanjita Chanu in its document of her failed dope take a look at, a development which has caused the Commonwealth Games gold-medallist to call for an inquiry.
The IWF has admitted to mentioning two other urine sample numbers in its conversation of her dope flunk previous this year, in step with a letter that the arena body sent to the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).
The conversation conceding the "administrative mistake" is in ownership of PTI.

Sanjita has now written to the IWF, in the hunt for a probe into how such a mistake may have taken position.
While sending the dope end result notification to Sanjita on May 15, the IWF mentioned sample code number 1599000 as the one accrued on November 17 final year at Las Vegas while it mentioned sample code 1599176 within the results phase.
The admission from the IWF got here after the issue reached the Prime Minister's Office. The PMO had written to the Sports Ministry to appear into the subject, which, in flip, directed the NADA to take action.
The IWF's admission, then again, is unlikely to have any impact on the real doping factor and curiously, the NADA, in its respond to the Sports Ministry, has stated that Sanjita "will need to explain before the International Weightlifting Federation hearing panel regarding the Anti-Doping Rule violation".
Sanjita's urine 'A' sample, taken out-of-competition within the United States earlier than the World Championships in November, tested sure for an anabolic steroid and he or she used to be right away put beneath provisional suspension.
In its respond to the Sports Ministry at the doping saga, the NADA stated, "Sample bearing Code No. 1599000 used to be accrued on Nov. 18, 2017 all through out of competition at Las Vegas, Nevada, USA by means of the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
"The lab results had been reported on December 20 and the sample has been reported for Adverse Analytical Finding."
The USADA forwarded a conversation of this dope end result addressed to Sanjita (in her e mail) with a duplicate to the IWF and the WADA. On May 15, the IWF sent a notification of Adverse Analytical Finding for sample code number 1599000 to Sanjita and the Indian federation.
"In the notification sent to the weightlifter by means of International Weightlifting Federation, there is a mention of sample code 1599176 at one position pointing out: 'As indicated in USADA's notification of Jan nine, 2018, IWF can be accountable for the Results Management related to the potential Anti-Doping Rule violations coming up from the results returned by means of sample 1599176," the NADA stated within the letter to the Sports Ministry, a duplicate of which is with PTI.
"In response to a NADA e mail, the IWF has clarified that sample code number 1599176 within the notification is due to an administrative mistake," the NADA stated.
Sanjita, who has been claiming innocence from the start, has now written a letter to the global federation to institute an inquiry.
"In considered one of your replies, you stated 'the second reference to some other sample code within the notification letter is due to an administrative mistake. Would you please elaborate on this administrative mistake?" she requested.
"How come such a extremely accountable federation makes such a grievous mistake on such a extremely important file?
"I wish an inquiry be instituted to understand the reason behind this 'unmistakable' mistake," added Sanjita, who previous demanded that a DNA take a look at be performed to determine whether the urine sample used to be hers or not.
