New Delhi, Sep 4 (IANS) Six wrestlers, including Arjuna Award winner Rajeev Tomar, Saturday appeared before the doping commission of the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) for tests of their B samples while the two athletes failed to turn up.
NADA director general Rahul Bhatnagar told IANS that the results of the six wrestlers' samples will come out Monday.
'Today the B samples were opened in front of the wrestlers and they were present during the test as well. The results will be available by Monday. But surprisingly the two athletes didn't turn up without informing us,' said Bhatnagar.
Six wrestlers had tested positive in the tests conducted during the trials in Patiala. Four of them, including three-time national champion, Tomar (120kg) were part of the Commonwealth Games squad and have been replaced.
Sumit (74kg), Mausam Khatri (96kg) and Gursharanpreet Kaur (72kg) were also part of the squad.
Rahul Mann (60kg) and Joginder (120kg) are the other two wrestlers who tested positive for banned substance, methylhexanamine, which is used as a stimulant.
Bhatnagar said that the two athletes, shotputter Sourabh Vij, who was in the Commonwealth Games squad, and discus thrower Akash Antil have a week's time to appear before the doping commission.
'Even if they don't turn up, on the eighth day we will open their B samples in front of independent witnesses,' said Bhatnagar.
