In a shocking revelation, legendary long jumper and Athletics Federation of India (AFI) senior vice-president Anju Bobby George on Sunday, said that a few athletes are bringing back performance-enhancing drugs from overseas, which are being distributed among some of their colleagues.
Speaking at the two-day Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the AFI, Anju said, “Many banned drugs being taken by the athletes caught for doping are not available in India, they come from abroad.”
“It is not only the coaches supplying banned drugs to young athletes but some athletes travelling abroad for training, procure the (performance enhancing) drugs and distribute them to others. We also have to stop this,” said Anju, who won a long jump bronze at the 2003 Paris World Championships.
