SPORT IWF GILL 2 LAST

If a ban of more than a year is imposed, India will have
to face the ignominy of being barred from fielding its lifters
in the October 3-14, 2010 Commonwealth Games here.
On the possibility of Indian lifters missing the
Commonwealth Games, Gill said the country will have to suffer
for the wrongs done by some lifters.
"What can we do? If there is to be a ban so be it. The
only thing is because of the lifters taking drugs, the country
will have to suffer," he said.
Gill said dope cheats will be dealt with sternly and his
ministry will take tough action.
"Stay away from drugs. The world bodies have taken strong
resolve to eliminate this menace and give stern punishment to
drug offenders. We fully stand by this. I want medals from our
athletes in Olympics and world events. But I want medals won
with honour. Mujhe benami ka medal nahin chahiye (I don't want
medal won by disgrace)," Gill thundered to the children
assembled. PTI
