🚨 AFI Mandates Coach Registration to Combat Doping in Indian Athletics!

➡️ All coaches must now register on AFI’s official portal or face blacklisting.

➡️ The move comes in response to rising doping cases, especially among juniors, often influenced by their coaches.

➡️ An anti-doping cell will monitor coaches and training centers, sharing findings with national and international agencies.

⚠️ Coaches face the same penalties as athletes if trainees fail dope tests.

💬 AFI at the AGM: “India risks a ban by World Athletics if doping cases keep rising.”

Only 700-800 coaches have registered so far—far below expectations.

What are your thoughts on this initiative?
