CHANDIGARH: Almost a year after the euphoria of Neeraj Chopra winning the country's first ever track and field Olympic gold, the darker side of Indian athletics have once again surfaced after an Olympian discus thrower was provisionally suspended and a quarter-miler suddenly disappeared to evade dope testers.
Ahead of the two-day Annual General Meeting of the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) this weekend, legendary sprinter PT Usha, who also is the chairperson of the junior selection committee, called for stringent action against those athletes for tarnishing the hard work of many only for their short-term gains.
