According to the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL), New Delhi, the ongoing Kabaddi World Cup has earned the dubious distinction of being the most dope-tainted sporting event.

About 25% of the total samples have turned out positive at the NDTL.

Doping was most common in contact sports, including kabaddi. “However, the main reason for the high doping percentage is that kabaddi is an unregulated sport and there is low level of awareness among players and coaches,” Dr Beotra said.

Ten out of 21 samples taken during a trial for the second Kabaddi World Cup have tested positive for banned steroids and a stimulant, according to NADA.

India’s National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) said the Kabaddi players’ samples contained prohibited steroids stanozolol, boldenone, nandrolone, and stimulant phentermine.

Players testing positive have been provisionally suspended.

The second Kabaddi World Cup has been robbed of its true spirit due to rampant doping among players.

On Tuesday, five players, two from Canada and one each from UK, Australia and Italy, were found dope positive, taking the overall tally to 12 out of 36 samples tested till now.

“To be very true, I don’t know whether we will be participating next year or not,” said an apprehensive Australian coach.

The World Kabaddi Cup made headlines in sports magazines for reports that 13 of its players tested positive for anabolic steroids and stimulants.

The test conducted by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was part of the pre-tournament drug testing of the players.

Indian Sports Director Pragati Singh expressed some concern on the result of the tests. “Definitely it’s a matter of concern. Even as a player it’s a matter of concern. We want the medal with respect. We don’t want medal like this,” he said.
