Weightlifter tests positive in Doha

DOPING: - A fourth weightlifter has tested positive for a banned substance at the Asian Games and been stripped of her silver medal, organisers said on Monday.

Myanmar's Oo Mya Sanda, who won silver in the 75kg division, failed the test when traces of a banned muscle bulk-building agent were found in her urine.

Husain Al Musallam, director general of the Olympic Council of Asia, said Doha's doping control body, international sporting federations and the World Anti-Doping Agency were on the same page when it came to combating drug use.

"We are working together as one team to fight the cheats in the Asian Games and around the world," he said.

There had been more than 800 tests conducted with only four positives, he said, adding that the percentage was not high compared with other world sporting events.
