To curb the doping menace, the Athletics Federation of India has decided to take action against coaches whose athletes commit doping violations.
The AFI, following its discussion with various stakeholders for about six months, took this important decision at its executive committee meeting on Friday.
“Coaches of the athletes who are caught for doping and are sanctioned will get a similar punishment. It is high time people were called out, named and shamed,” AFI president Adille Sumariwalla said at a virtual press conference.
