The Weightlifting Federation stated that Monika had tested positive in a dope test conducted in India prior to the Olympics. Subsequently, she was omitted from the Indian squad for the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]]. She protested, stating that the officials had been trying to discard her in favour of another weightlifter [[Shailaja Pujari]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=234303&version=1&template_id=49&parent_id=29 |title=Gulf Times – Qatar's top-selling English daily newspaper - Sport |publisher=Gulf-times.com |date= |accessdate=2012-08-03}}</ref> Because the statement from the Federation lacked any credibility, the Prime Minister's Office intervened and approved her participation in the Olympics.
