Doping in athletics has spread to junior and sub-junior level as well, says Ashok Ahuja, former head of sports medicine at SAI. He reckons it would be a tough task to clean up Indian sports. "The government has to take strict measures now. But punishing officials and players only will not serve any purpose. Efforts are required at the grassroots as doping now exists at the junior and sub-junior levels also," said Ahuja.
Sports medicine expert PSM Chandran added: "Only NIS Patiala gets focussed on but the reality is that the trend of doping exists at Bangalore and even ASI Pune," he said.
