CWG 2026: Dilbag Singh withdraws as India's weightlifting quota reduced over doping violations
India's weightlifting quota for the 2026 Commonwealth Games has been reduced. This reduction occurred because of multiple anti-doping rule violations during the qualification period. Dilbagh Singh was withdrawn from the squad, leaving an 11-member team. Several lifters faced sanctions, impacting the country's allocation for the event. Mirabai Chanu will now lead the reduced Indian weightlifting contingent.
