New Delhi: Indian Olympic Association's (IOA) Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and renowned sports surgeon Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala will be heading the body's anti-doping medical panel that will coordinate with national federations to educate athletes on the perils of banned substances.
The aggressive push to tackle doping has been triggered by India's continuous poor record, which includes three years at the top of World Anti-Doping Agency's list of biggest violators. The problem threatens to throw India's plans of becoming an Olympic host in 2036 haywire.
