NEW DELHI: In a bold move aimed at upholding integrity in athletics, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has introduced a groundbreaking policy holding coaches accountable for the failed dope tests of their athletes.
The new regulation mandates equal punishment for both athletes and their coaches in the event of an adverse analytical finding. By extending consequences to coaches, the AFI aims to cultivate a culture of clean sports and send a strong message that doping will not be tolerated at any level.
