BOXING: India’s boxing pin-up boy Vijender Singh was ordered by the Indian sports ministry yesterday to take an immediate out-of-competition test after police said he had used heroin on several occasions. Singh, whose middleweight bronze at the 2008 Beijing Olympics helped raise boxing’s profile in India, landed in trouble after last month’s $24 million drug haul in the northern state Punjab when a fellow boxer told the investigators he and Singh consumed heroin supplied by the drug dealer. Singh has denied the allegation but Punjab Police said the 27-year-old boxer had taken heroin on 12 occasions.

BASKETBALL: Louisville guard Kevin Ware broke his leg in a horrific injury that left college basketball in a state of shock during the March Madness regional finals on Sunday. Ware landed awkwardly while trying to block a shot in the first half and his right leg bent at a gruesome angle, leaving the crowd at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis in a stunned silence. “When he landed, I heard it,” Louisville guard Russ Smith told reporters. “And then I (saw the bone) come out and I immediately just, just like, fell.”

RUGBY UNION: Bath have announced fly-half Stephen Donald will leave the club at the end of the season to move to Japan.

The former Waikato man has gone on to make 31 appearances and score over 150 points for Bath, but he will depart this summer, despite having a year left on his contract. He will join Mitsubishi Dynaboars.
