Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender Singh is unlikely to be tested by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) despite claims by his sparring partner Ram Singh that the star boxer consumed small amounts of heroin. Sources in the NADA told PTI that Vijender's case was a matter to be investigated by the police and the anti-doping agency has no role in this. It's basically a police and narcotics case and the NADA is not in the scene, a top NADA source said. [caption id=attachment_654623 align=alignleft width=380 Olympic bronze-medallist Vijender S

Indian boxing's pin-up boy Vijender Singh drags himself to the ring in the north Indian city of Patiala each day, sweats out mechanically and leaves wondering if it was all worth the trouble. Singh's frustration reflects the mood of the athletes in a country that has been kicked out of the Olympic family for allowing government interference in the functioning of its controversial Olympic committee. To make matters worse for local boxers, the Indian Amateur Boxing Federation has separately been suspended by the sport's international governing body (AIBA) for possible manipulation in its September elections. It's very frustrating, Singh told Reuters by telephone. [caption id=attachment_625222 align=alignleft width=380 Indian boxing's pin-up boy Vijender

strongNew Delhi/strong: Star boxer Vijender Singh has of late been putting in the hard yards without a goal, thanks to the suspension on the Indian Boxing Federation (IABF), which has rendered the country's boxers ineligible to compete in any international event. You can say I am training without any goal because we don't know when the ban will be lifted, Vijender, who is currently undergoing a camp in Patiala, said today. Hoping for an early resolution of the electoral mess that led to IABF's suspension by the world body AIBA late last year, the 27-year-old boxer felt the ban might impact the team's preparation for the World Championship in September, which is followed by the Asian Games. We can practice as much we can but if we do not get international exposure our performance will definitely go down. All boxers want this ban to be lifted soon, he told reporters on the sidelines of an event organised by TERI.

strongLondon/strong: India's star pugilist Vijender Singh crashed out of the middleweight category as he lost by 13-17 to Uzbekistan's Abbos Atoev in the quarterfinal at the Excel Arena. The Beijing Games bronze medallist wasn't really impressive during his last eight bout against an opponent whom he had beaten 7-0 in the Asian Games final at Guangzhou two years back. A defensive boxer by nature, Vijender stayed in his shell a tad too long giving Atoev a chance to make inroads, which proved to be decisive in the end. Atoev's left and right hook combination also fetched him more points than the Indian's right hooks that occasionally landed on spot.

strongLondon/strong: India's star boxer Vijender Singh tonight moved into the quarter finals of the men's middle weight (75 kg) category of the Olympic Games with a nail-biting one-point victory over his American opponent at the ExCel Arena here today. The 26-year-old Vijender, the bronze medallist of the Beijing Olympic Games, scraped past Terrell Gausha with a 16-15 verdict in the thrilling contest of skill and strategy. Spurred on by a vociferous crowd which kept chanting India, India, Vijender took a slender one point lead after the first round which ultimately was the decisive factor for the Indian to pip his American rival. In the second round, Vijender allowed his opponent to come back a little bit as he left his guard open and, and though he landed a few punches, it was not enough to give him a clear lead. As a result, the second round ended with a 5-5 scoreline. [caption id=attachment_402868 align=alignleft width=380 strongLondon/strong: India's star b

The 26-year-old, a bronze-medallist in the Beijing Games four years ago, was a trifle cautious in the first round, preferring to gauge his opponent's strategy but opened up subsequently to carve out a comfortable 14-10 verdict late last night.

strongLondon:/strong Beijing bronze medalist Vijender Singh is not the only hope in boxing at London. If the chief coach and technical director of the squad are to be believed, this discipline could throw up some unexpected medals. These boys have come through many assessments and trials and I have no hesitation in saying that the country's best boxers are here, said chief coach G S Sandhu after the weigh-in on Friday morning. They are supremely fit and in form. There can be no excuses after this. [caption id=attachment_394024 align=alignleft width=380 strongLondon:/strong Beijing bronze
