"All doping charges against Monika have been cleared by SAI but IOA has not agreed on the ground that time is very short and they wont be able to reopen the entry process for her but they will be trying to send her to Beijing. 

The clearance for the lifter from Manipur, who was pulled out of the Indian squad for Beijing Olympics almost at the eleventh hour on July 7 after she had reportedly tested positive for anabolic stereoid, after Chief Minister I Ibobi Singh took up the issue with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] in the capital on Saturday.

The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) said there was little time left for Monika to take part in the 69kg competition of the Olympics since and International Olympic Committee would not reopen the entry process for her.
