Decision on IWF deffered

New Delhi, PTI:

 A decision on whether to ban the dope-tainted Indian Weightlifting Federation has been deferred till Saturday by the sport’s world governing body as it’s Executive Board is yet to take up the matter in its ongoing annual Congress in Goyang City, Korea. “During the Annual Congress yesterday nothing came up as all these cases are pending. The process is on its long way. The Executive board will discuss on this topic on Saturday,” International Weightlifting Federation’s Spokesman Dezso Dobor said in a statement. The IWF, banned twice in the past, is facing a third sanction after six of its lifters flunked out-of-competition dope tests conducted by WADA.
