India to Criminalise Doping Supply Chains with New Legal Amendments
India plans to amend its anti-doping law to criminalise the trafficking and distribution of banned substances, including penalties of up to five years in prison for suppliers and coaches, as announced by Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. This move aims to strengthen the country's anti-doping framework amid high violation rates and support its bid to host the 2036 Olympics. India has increased testing and awareness efforts, but challenges remain due to easy access to prohibited substances and limited athlete awareness.
