India's boxing team doctor has been handed a "strong written reprimand" for breaching the Commonwealth Games Federation's (CGF) no-needles policy in the athletes village at the Gold Coast.

Dr Amol Patil, who is attending a Games for the first time, told the investigators he had injected a vitamin B complex to an athlete who complained of feeling unwell.

During an investigation into the discovery of the needles in the village last weekend, Dr Patil admitted he was aware of the no-needles policy.

In a statement, the CGF court said the doctor provided details of the use of needles from March 19 and co-operated in disclosing all medication in his possession.

The investigation, conducted by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency, found it was not a doping violation.

The CGF has a strict no-needles policy for the athletes village, but within that, there are allowances for medical use.

The court noted there were 327 people in the Indian team for the Gold Coast Games with only two doctors — one of whom is Dr Patil, and he is dedicated to the boxing team.

The court found Dr Patil breached the policy when he left needles in a room while he went to obtain sharp bins for the disposal of needles.

The policy demands any needles in the village need to be stored in a central location where access is restricted to authorised medical personnel.

he court decided the doctor did not breach another requirement, which states whenever an athlete receives an injection, an Injection Declaration Form should be forwarded to the CGF Medical Commission no later than noon the following day.

While Dr Patil did not file the form, he did email information to the Medical Commission during the investigation which was found to be "substantially similar" to what was required on the form.

This information was provided before the noon deadline the following day.

The Federation Court, chaired by Richard Powers (Canada) with members David Harry (Guernsey) and Patrick Fepuleai (Samoa), determined the CGF should issue a "strong written reprimand" to Dr Patil.

It has recommended the doctor familiarise himself with the CGF policies.

A copy of the written reprimand will be served on the chef de mission of the Indian team.
