In a huge sigh of relief for Indian boxer Vijender Singh, National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) announced on Tuesday that the boxer has tested negative in the drug test.
London - London Organising Committee of Olympics (LOCOG) chairman, Lord Sebastian Coe has expressed disappointment over David Beckham's snub by Team Great Britain football team for Olympics by coach Stuart Pearce.
Beckham was to be picked for this summer's tournament, but Pearce dashed all hopes by selecting Craig Bellamy, Ryan Giggs and Micah Richards as his three over-23 players instead.
Lord Coe said, as a fan he was thwarted at Beckham's snub, but would respect Pearce's decision.
"Personally I would have loved to have seen him in the football team, but I'm not the coach and you always have to accept the decision that coaches and selectors make," The Guardian quoted Lord Coe, as saying.
"They're horrible decisions to have to make. From a football fan, of course I'd loved to have seen him there," he added.
When the squad announcement was made last month, Pearce defended omitting Beckham, insisting he picked his 18-man squad for 'football reasons' and not based on sentimentality, personality or potential ticket sales.
Although Beckham demonstrated that he arguably still has something to offer with two classy goals in LA Galaxy's 5-3 win over Portland Timbers on Saturday night.
