Medical team 'guilty' in PON doping

SEMARANG (JP): The Central Java medical team acknowledged it
was at fault for rower Djodi Winarso's failed drug test at the
15th National Games in Surabaya in June.

As a result of failing the drug test, Djodi, who was
representing the province, was stripped of his bronze medal.

"Dr. Hardjono and Dr. Hartati admitted their fault. This is
purely an error on the part of the doctors, not the athlete,"
said the coordinator of the province's medical team on Saturday.

Djodi was given tuzalos by the doctors after he complained of
feeling ill. The medicine contains banned drugs.

Djodi faces sanction by the Indonesian Rowing and Canoeing
Association, but the body has yet to decide on what penalty it
will hand down. (har)
