Happy days are here again for middle-distance runner Sunita Rani. After having been given a clean chit by all conerned on her dope charges, Sunita is all set to get her medals back at a grand ceremony here next week.

Sunita Rani will be handed over her gold and bronze medal which she won at the Busan Asian Games in September last year, according to Amateur Athletic Federation of India secretary Lalit Kumar Bhanothere today. ‘‘The AAFI is organising restoration of medals ceremony on February 4,’’ he said.

The Olympic Council of Asia, which had stripped the athlete of her medals after she tested ‘‘positive,’’ has already sent her medals to the AAFI for restoration.
