Taiwan baseball infielder Chang Tai-shan has been suspended after testing positive for a banned substance and sat out his team's opening Olympic win over the Netherlands on Wednesday. The International Amateur Baseball Federation (IBAF) said Chang's failed the test and had suspended him pending the results from his B sample. “The IBAF has been advised of a possible anti-doping rule violation by a player from the Taiwan team,” the IBAF said in a statement. “As a result, the player Chang Tai-shan has been provisionally suspended pending the analysis of the B sample and a formal hearing.” Chang fell foul of a World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) check carried out before the Games. Chang was initially listed on the Taiwan lineup for its game against the Netherlands but failed to appear on the field for introductions. The absence of the hard-hitting third baseman had little impact as Taiwan cruised past the Dutch 5-0. The positive test is another blow to baseball's chances of being reinstated to the Olympic program. India orders inquiry India ordered a government inquiry on Wednesday into the case of woman weightlifter Monika Devi, who was excluded from the Beijing Olympics over a positive dope test but later cleared of wrongdoing. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) withdrew the 69kg lifter from the Games last week and stopped her from boarding the flight to Beijing after receiving a report from the state-run Sports Authority of India's (SAI) national dope laboratory.
