The Indian government, through the Sports Ministry, has introduced several measures to combat doping and age fraud among junior athletes. These initiatives include the establishment of a National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) office in Delhi to enhance testing capabilities, particularly targeting junior athletes. Additionally, the ministry has mandated the use of the Voluntary Age Verification Scheme (VAVS) for age verification, which involves medical tests like X-rays and dental examinations to confirm athletes' ages. This scheme aims to prevent age manipulation, which has been a significant issue in junior sports, allowing older athletes to compete in younger age categories. Furthermore, the government plans to increase awareness about the dangers of doping and the importance of fair play through educational programs. These steps are part of a broader strategy to ensure integrity in sports and protect the health and future of young athletes.
