Just a few days before the start of the Games on July 23, pistol shooter Gaurav Kumar Mussoorie was caught in doping. Banned substance was found in his sample, due to which the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) dropped him from the Commonwealth Games team even before the ban was imposed.

Tulika Mann, who won the silver medal in women's judo in the last CWG, was suspended and dropped from the team for missing dope test thrice in a year.

Actually, according to the rules, whichever country's association comes up with a doping case, its slot will be reduced by one slot. Before the start of the Games, there were 5 cases related to Indian weightlifting, due to which the slots were reduced from 16 to 11. But the Federation had sent 12 weightlifters, due to which Dilbagh had to return. (Photo: X Screenshot)
