Doping is a stain on the country's reputation

Playing to the best of your ability and working hard to achieve success gives satisfaction to sportsmen. One should be able to accept it soberly even if one fights with all one's strength and one is defeated. We should learn from the defeat and fight harder. That's the meaning of true sportsmanship! However, some athletes willingly use banned stimulants in their greed to win. And then they get caught and destroy a bright future. It is disturbing that India is becoming more popular with such people. According to the latest report of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), India has become the country with the highest number of dopes for the third year in a row. National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) examined more than 7,000 urine and blood samples - 260 people received negative results. China has tested more than 24 thousand samples and only 43 have tested positive. France, Russia and Germany have more than 10,000 samples, but the ones with prohibited markings are nowhere more than 100. In India, the emergence of many dopes in small samples - shows how our sports system is going astray!
During the last four years, 640 people have failed doping tests. Two of them belong to the athletics department. Weightlifting, wrestling, powerlifting and boxing players are in the next positions. Some are getting caught in the doping trap due to the drugs they are using knowingly and unknowingly. Others choose the wrong path and end up in front of everyone. It is shocking that some of the coaches who are supposed to enlighten and guide them on the right path are helping such people. India, which will be hosting the 2030 Commonwealth Games, hopes to showcase its capabilities to the world by hosting the Olympics thereafter. Efforts have intensified to stay ahead of the medal table in international events. But, if we do not stop doping, which is spreading all the time, India, like Russia, will be left alone in the world of international sports. In the past, with the help of coaches, officials, doctors, athletes, etc., systemic doping was unleashed in Russia, and eventually the country's reputation was on fire!
Indian star sprinter Dutichand was temporarily banned a few years ago after he tested positive for doping. Amit Panghal (Boxing), Deepa Karmakar (Gymnastics), Narsingh Yadav (Wrestling) and Seema Punia (Discus Throw) were all awestruck. The Center has brought a special law in 2022 to prevent unethical trends in sports. However, the specter of doping continues to unravel. In such circumstances, the Anti-Doping Amendment Bill brought by the Center to rein in those who go hunting for medals among the thieves, was approved by the Parliament last August. If it is implemented effectively, better results will be achieved in the field. Apart from that, a wider understanding should be created in the sports world about the consequences of doping. Medicines that should not be taken as part of health treatment should be informed. The players who deliberately step into the catalysts, and the coaches who provoke them, should be hunted down mercilessly!
