Winning in sports at all costs does not permit the philosophy of sports to degenerate merely into a competition amongst laboratories, scientists and athletes.
Drugs spectre in sports though has become widespread but it threatens the safety, health and longevity of athletes while perverting the original intent of sports.
To promote the true ethics of sports the first ever mini directory on drug in sports was published in 1994 which had tremendous acclaim not only from Indian sportsmen but from international sports fraternity as well as the Indian press.
This Website brings to you the latest list of banned and permissible drugs with Indian examples as well as the effects and side effects of banned drugs in brief. The directory also contains the generic names of all permissible drugs. As the quest for sports excellence in the
world has become a slogan of the present century. It is expected that goal of achieving enough literacy on drugs and sports shall be sufficiently met with by this Website
Drugs used in sports which were earlier being looked after by IOC now comes under domain of WADA (World Anti Doping Agency). Excepting these substances for
which a quantitative reporting threshold is specifically identified in the prohibited list, the detected presence of any quantity of a prohibited substance
or its metabolites or markers in an Athlete's sample shall constitue an anti doping rule violation.
