Doping

In recent years, doping charges being framed and then dropping them has become a very common act. I thought Pakistan cricket had this disease but last week doping news in weightlifting confirmed that Indian sports is no different.

I saw weightlifter Monika Devi from Manipur crying and pleading with the sporting officials to investigate the doping allegations on her. She was absolutely sure that they were framed by some influential person for some dirty interests...and guess what…just after three days; all the doping charges were dropped. Point is at the end of the day, what does all this mean to Indian sports? why were they framed in first case? and why were they dropped later? what was the procedure used? who did those tests? did they follow the right guidelines? how were they validated? ....many questions have yet again gone unanswered.

I am sure this is not the first and the last time it has happened, couple of years ago, discuss thrower Seema Antil was framed with similar charges right in the middle of “Doha games”. Various federations and authorities like Sports Authority of India, Athletic Federation of India and Indian Olympic Association were all blaming each other. Later the charges were dropped ...answer given was shocking...they said there were some procedural lapses. FUCK !!!....Do they have any clue about how much physiological damage was caused on that sportsman?

What hurts me most is when I see our neighbour China, who is so focussed on their planning and execution. They worry about how they can come first in the medal tally, and here we are fighting for something else...SICK
