Antidoping, DrugsAbstract
Today no one is unaware of doping in sports. The issue of doping has become a regular phenomenon in recent times. We often hear news of athletes and sportsperson being tested positive for doping. The recent instance of doping involving Rio-bound Indian athletes (Shot putter Inderjit Singh and wrestler Narsingh Yadav) has shown that India is not far behind in the “Doping Games”.1 Doping is an age old phenomenon in sports. In recent times, the doping menace has grown as a monster engulfing all categories of athletes in competitive sports, ranging from school kids to international Olympic champions.2 By definition doping in sports implies athletes taking illegal substances to improve their performances. These illegal substances (Performance Enhancing Drugs) usually work by causing the body to build more muscles or by limiting muscle fatigue.3 It is therefore not permissible in the sporting arena. As a result World Anti-Doping Agency was established in 1999 to check the menace of doping in sports.4 WADA is an independent international agency funded by sports organizations and associated countries. It monitors doping in sports based on the World AntiDoping Code.
