NEW DELHI: Some of the country's promising athletes in different disciplines have returned positive for banned substances, including high-end drugs like metenolone, methandienone, stanozolol and metandienone – all anabolic steroids.
According to the information available with TOI, 10 athletes from weightlifting, athletics, wrestling, cycling, judo, football, wushu and lawn bowls disciplines have failed the dope test, raising a big question mark on the national sports federations (NSFs) and coaches' failure to curb the doping menace at the domestic level.
