Despite big names like discus thrower Kamalpreet Kaur and javelin thrower Shivpal Singh — both Tokyo Olympians — failing dope tests recently, the Athletics Federation of India is not working on any new steps to curb the menace.
“What more can we do? They have been educated, they are well informed on what they can and cannot take and they are not new athletes,” AFI president Adille Sumariwalla told The Hindu.
“If an athlete wants to ‘commit suicide’, I cannot stop anybody. Everybody is aware. I have said in every talk of mine, at the Nationals, stay away from dope. All the testing that we have to do, we are doing. I have pushed for the bill on doping, now the bill is coming. What more can I do?” Sumariwalla asks.
