Even though the selection committee will pick athletes for the Asian Games, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) is keeping a close watch on the athletes returning exceptional performances over a short span of time and those who are not regulars at the National camp.
The AFI is “careful” about the sudden burst of eye-catching results by some athletes at the ongoing National inter-state athletics championships at the Kalinga Stadium here.
“Keeping in mind the Asian Games, we have asked the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) to be more vigilant, especially (about) those who are not in the national camp,” AFI president Adille Sumariwalla said.
