Tokyo Games: NADA to test Olympic hopefuls including wrestlers once training resumes

By   - 09/05/2020

The National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) has said that it will prioritise testing of Indian athletes who are likely to be part of the Indian squad for the postponed Olympic Games. Besides this, it will also test sportspersons those in the Registered Testing Pool (RTP) after they return to the national camp, Hindustan Times reported. They will focus on 10 disciplines which are boxing, athletics, cycling, swimming, weightlifting, and wrestling.

The tests are being done to check if the athletes indulged in any doping violations during the national lockdown, the report added. It has over 40 days since the training camps were suspended. Athletes including wrestlers had returned home. This along with travel restrictions has made it tough for NADA to conduct its anti-doping tests this year.

India has booked four Olympic spots in wrestling — 57kg, 65kg, and 86kg men’s freestyle and 53kg in women’s wrestling — and will throw the hat in fray for the remaining 14 at the Olympic Qualifiers next year.

NADA’s director general Navin Agarwal has said that is will now give emphasis on selected athletes for random tests. “There is no escape for dope cheats as we have various tools to catch the culprits,” Agarwal told Hindustan Times.

Normally, the criteria to select athletes for the RTP programme has been their domestic performances. But since the season was called off due to coronavirus outbreak, the anti-doping body will rely on their 2019 data.

Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) is mulling to resume the camp soon after the lockdown ends. It released a list of 39 wrestlers – 15 in men’s freestyle and women each and nine Greco- Roman — who will be called for the national camp.
