Dr Karanjeet Singh, a sports medicine specialist from the state, was team consultant with Indian boxers who took part in the Commonwealth Games. “For the last two years, since 2008, he remained with the Indian boxers as team consultant,” disclosed Ranjit.
After graduating from Government Medical College Jammu, he did specialization in Sports Medicine from National Institute of Sports (NIS) Patiala.
During his studies at Patiala, he got the opportunity to work with Indian Hockey, Weightlifting, Judo, Athletics and Boxing teams.
Being from sports family and younger brother of a renowned handball player, Dr Karanjeet joined Indian Boxing Federation in 2000, as member of medical commission for Indian Boxing Federation.

Role to Play
Since boxing is injury prone sports, I take care of the injuries of the boxers (like Vijender, Suranjoy, Dinesh Nanao Singh, Jai Bhagwan), their active treatment and rehabilitation for early return to the ring. Once injury occurs it pushes the athlete back from other opponents so I take care during his treatment his training should not hampered.
It is weight category sports, so I guide them for proper diet and food supplements for maintaining weight and early recovery. Giving strength after the weight loss is very important so that when boxers enter the ring he should be full of energy and for this proper knowledge of supplements is very important.
Today when WADA is very strict for doping it’s better to give dope free medicine which helps them to give recovery and proper stamina and strength for the competition.
