NATIONAL ANTI-DOPING AGENCY, INDIA’S FAILURE IN DISCHARGING ITS POSITIVE DUTIES: ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION DISSEMINATION AND ATHLETE AWARENESS
This episode is also available as a blog post: http://sportslawandpolicyreviewreporter.com/2022/12/27/national-anti-doping-agency-indias-failure-in-discharging-its-positive-duties-analysis-of-information-dissemination-and-athlete-awareness/
The sporting world has seen various instances wherein Athletes have resorted to the use of performance enhancing drugs in a bid to achieve an edge over their competitors. Using drugs or other processes for performance enhancement is justly considered to be unethical, considering that it essentially distorts the spirit of sports. This deliberate use of a substance or a process/method, banned by the medical commission of the World Anti-Doping Agency (‘WADA’) is what amounts to doping, and it is one of the most serious issues plaguing the field of sports in the modern day.
Additionally, owing to the rapid technological advancement, a plethora of processes and methods have been innovated, such as, inter alia- blood transfusion and gene modification, which are readily available and have intensified the fight against doping. Consequently, the objective behind having such a system of regulation in place to prohibit and penalise doping is to protect the Athletes’ health and avoid the accompanying consequences of doping, while also upholding the ‘spirit of sport’ at its core.
This Blog Post discusses the duties of NADA with respect to providing and disseminating the required education and information to the Athletes, insofar as inadvertent doping is very much prevalent amongst Indian Athletes. The shortcomings of NADA have been discussed and the Author has also provided certain suggestions for reform.
