Dope shame returned to haunt Indian weightlifting once again with 2011 Commonwealth Championships gold medallist lifter Rupinder Singh returning positive for an anabolic steroid in the test conducted in December last year.     

Rupinder was among 31 lifters whose urine samples were collected by the National Anti-Doping Agency doctors on December 5 on the request of the Indian Weightlifting Federation.     

He had won a gold in the senior men's +105 kg snatch at the 2011 Commonwealth Championships in Cape Town. He also won a silver each in clean and jerk and total lift.
