Vijender must realise that making inane statements is not earning him more fans and even isolating existing ones. However high the price, he has to come clean about his role in the heroin mess. When the news was just airing on various media channels about him being embroiled in the controversy, reports surfaced about him saying that if he had taken dope he would have been caught in various anti-doping tests.

Vijender must know that performance-enhancing substances in sport and heroin are two different things completely. Then, his friend Ram Singh claimed that he and Vijender had taken dope but it was unknowingly, thinking it was a food supplement. One can only say that reports will not be held responsible if you die laughing at the ridiculousness of that.

Now, Vijender, the poster boy of Indian boxing, is back in the news saying he refuses to give blood and hair samples to the police citing humiliation. Vijender is behaving like a man who has something to hide. The boxer must know that like in a bout, so in life — sometimes it is better to take it on the chin and roll with the punches.
