The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) promotes, coordinates and monitors the global fight against doping in sport. This review is the result of WADA?s identification of education and social science research as strategic priorities for developing evidence-based anti-doping education programs and interventions.WADA was established in 1999 as an international independent agency composed and funded equally by the sport movement and governments of the world. Its key activities include scientific research, education, development of anti-doping capacities, and monitoring of the?World Anti Doping Code (Code)?? the?document harmonizing anti-doping policies in all sports and all countries.
As many as 8 Indian athletes have been caught in the scandal. Sini Jose, Ashwini Akkunji and Mandeep Kaur were part of the 4?100 women?s relay team that won the Commonwealth Gold last year and followed that up with Gold at the Asian Games. Quarter mile runner Jaune Murmu and 400m specialist Tiana Mary Thomas are also involved as is shot putter Sonia. PriyankaPanwar all set to participate in the Asians Championships. Long jumper Hari Krishnan is the only male athlete to be under scrutiny.
