India has sent a 219-member team of atheletes to Gold Coast
Earlier, the Indian contingent was caught in the midst of a controversy even before the Commonwealth Games began after syringes were found in their athletes' building at the Commonwealth Games Village in Gold Coast on Saturday.
While confirming the development, CGF CEO David Grevemberg did not divulge the name of the nation that has violated the 'no needle policy', which prohibits the administration of injections without strong medical support.
Grevemberg said the CGF was in talks with the concerned Commonwealth Games Association amid speculations that Indian boxers could be under the scanner in this case. The Games are due to start April 5 after an opening ceremony on April 4.
It is learnt that some syringes were found in the accommodation where a few Indian athletes were put up along with athletes of various other countries.
It was unclear who they belonged to, but India has denied that it was their athletes'.
"The syringes were not of an Indian athlete, that is for sure," Indian Olympic Association secretary-general Rajeev Mehta told DNA.
The Commonwealth Games has a "no-needles" policy for athletes, and Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) chief executive David Grevemberg said "if analytical evidence indicates it's worth a follow-up, the CGF medical commission will follow procedures".
India team manager Ajay Narang claimed that it was a person from the Indian contingent who handed the syringes to the CGF medical commission.
