According to sources Santiago Nieva said one fighter had been given a vitamin injection because he was unwell. As per report the games organizers had summoned officials from a team they would not name over a breach of the "no-needle" policy. Meanwhile it comes two days before the opening ceremony of the 2018 Games on the Gold Coast in Australia.
Further reports say a cleaner at the athletes' village tipped off organizers about the presence of the syringes. Accordingly Commonwealth Games officials are analyzing the syringes that in a statement the Commonwealth Games Federation said "The CGF has concluded its investigation into an alleged violation of the CGF's no-needle policy. Meanwhile when asked if the boxer was given a performance-enhancing drug, Mr. Nieva said "No, that was a vitamin substance."
Accordingly "For clarification, this matter is not defined as an
anti-doping rule violation, but rather as an infringement of the CGF's
no-needle policy, which has been introduced by major events organizers to
ensure best medical practices." Previously the federation's chief
executive, David Grevemberg, said officials from a country he declined to
identify had been summoned to a meeting with the organization’s medical
commission.
