IOA's AC Meet Focuses on Anti-Doping

Convening meetings every month, putting together plans for sporting activities that would lead to sports development, safeguarding athletes and their rights, addressing the rising doping menace in the country and helping athletes during transition after retirement were some of the focus areas of the Indian Olympic Association's Athletes Commission meeting on Thursday.

If everything goes to plan, the commission will have their own space at the Olympic Bhawan in New Delhi.

The commission finally had a meeting after quite some time. Out of the 10, there were seven members—four in person and three online—who attended the meeting. The Commission's vice chairperson Sharath Kamal, Om Prakash Karhana, Bhavani Devi and Shiva Keshavan were at the IOA headquarters in New Delhi. Joining them online were rower Bajrang Lal, hockey player Rani Rampal and star shuttler PV Sindhu.
