Anju Bobby George is now a gold medallist - The Hindu

Speaking to our Principal Correspondent in Bangalore, an elated Anju said: "At last it has come. I have been waiting for it for nine years. It really feels like justice."

"For those three years — 2003, 04 and 05, I was one of the best in the world. I knew everyone ahead of me was doing it (doping), but I was helpless because I couldn't prove it. I always had my doubts about Kotova," Anju said.

"But I am proud that I stood up. Only the top-eight athletes in the world can participate in this event. Looking at the line-up I competed against I can say that I am like the world champion."
Kudos Anju may your tribe grow....

Congrats Anju!
Remember the bane of doping has been there all through ... including at India's national level, but sports administrators have turned a blind eye.
