India Faces Alarming Doping Risk in Athletics, Integrity Unit Warns

India's athletics program has been placed in the 'extremely high' doping risk bracket by the Athletics Integrity Unit (AUI), ranking among the top two globally for anti-doping rule violations projected between 2022 and 2025. This concerning development underscores the urgent need for stringent measures to address the doping crisis plaguing the country's sports ecosystem.

The AUI's risk assessment, based on historical doping data and other analytical factors, paints a troubling picture for India's track and field athletes. The country's high prevalence of doping incidents, coupled with its large athlete population, has contributed to this alarming categorization.
