Sunita Rani to get her medals back on February 4
Thursday, January 30 2003 21:11 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: Having been exonerated of doping charges, distance runner Sunita Rani is all set to get her medals back next week at a grand ceremony.

Sunita Rani, who was given a clean chit by various national and international bodies, will be given back her gold and bronze medal that she won at the Busan Asian Games in September last year, an Amateur Athletic Federation of India (AAFI) press release said on Thursday.

"The AAFI is organising 'Restoration of Medals' ceremony on February 4," the release said.

The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), which had stripped the athlete of her medals after she tested ‘positive’, has already sent her medals to the AAFI for restoration.
