The International Weightlifting Federation (IWF) has lifted the provisional suspension on Manipuri weightlifter Sanjita Chanu, imposed on her in May final yr for an alleged doping violation.
In a letter addressed to Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWLF) and Sanjita late on Tuesday, the arena frame mentioned, "On the basis of the information at its disposal, the IWF has decided that the provisional suspension of the athlete shall be lifted as of today (22 January 2019)...The IWF panel will render its decision in the athlete’s case in due course."
The 25-year-old two-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, chatting with IdealNews from her Imphal home, where she has been holed up for the final seven months while the rest of the rustic's premier lifters had been coaching on the national camp in Patiala, mentioned, "I have seen the good news today. I am innocent and I have never taken any banned substance. I am just relieved this is over and I can concentrate on my sport again."
National workforce trainer Vijay Sharma, speaking from Patiala, told TOI, "This is a good day for Indian weightlifting. Federation officials have told me they will be writing to Sanjita inviting her to the camp. If she wants to join tomorrow, we are ready to take her back tomorrow. I was always sure Sanjita was clean."
Throwing in a phrase of caution, then again, Sharma added, "The problem had been created on the first hand because of some kind of miscommunication between IWF and United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA). Let us see how USADA react to this order."
In Manipur, then again, celebrations had been much less restrained. Khumukcham Bijenkumar, Sanjita's brother and co-convener of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) shaped by means of eight native our bodies to struggle Sanjita's case, mentioned, "This is a day of joy. She is very eager to return to the camp, we will decide on a course of action soon."
"One friend of her from the national camp, Poonam Yadav, was regularly in touch with her all these months, supporting her through the tough time," Khumukcham added. Sanjita's struggle for justice had drawn many allies. Even chief minister Biren Singh had written to Union sports minister Rajyavardhan Rathore, declaring a 'obvious error' in Sanjita's dope report.
