AFI ready to cooperate with probe panelThe Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has said that it is ready to cooperate with the probe panel set up by the sports ministry.

The AFI is under fire after the doping scandal that rocked the country.

From Articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

The AFI came under severe criticism after eight athletes, including Asian Games double gold medallist Ashwini Akkunji and her gold medal winning 4×400 relay teammates Mandeep Kaur and Sini Jose, flunked dope tests for anabolic steroids and it said it agreed to the “six point” decision taken by sports minister Ajay Maken after the scandal.

“The federation is ready to fully cooperate with the probe panel set up by the sports minister to go into the bottom of the scandal. We fully agree to the six point decision taken by the minister,” AFI director ML Dogra said.

“We have also instituted our internal inquiry on the doping episode. The three-member committee will submit preliminary report within a month and final report within three months,” Dogra said.
