NEW DELHI: An Indian woman weightlifter pulled from the Beijing Olympics over doping has been cleared by the national federation of any violation but will still miss out, a senior lifting official said on Sunday.

"There was no question of a positive test," federation secretary Baldev Raj Gulati told Reuters. "(But) Her entry was delayed and technical regulations don't allow her to be included now."

Monika Devi, a 69kg lifter, was withdrawn by the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) on Tuesday after being informed she had tested positive in a pre-Games test.
