The Indian Weightlifting Federation (IWF) was in deep trouble on Tuesday after it turned out that a third lifter, Priyadarshini, too has tested positive in a screening test conducted by the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA).

The confirmation of a third lifter failing the dope test last month comes just a day after reports surfaced of Vicky Batta and Shailaja Pujari returning postive in out-of-competition tests.
