World Athletics vice-president Adille Sumariwalla is advocating for criminalizing doping in India, shifting focus from athletes to sellers, coaches, and medical practitioners involved in the supply chain. He argues that current bans are insufficient and that jailing those who distribute banned substances, as seen in countries like Kenya, would serve as a stronger deterrent. The Athletics Federation of India has proposed legal amendments to the government to target these individuals, aiming for a cleaner sporting environment.
