“The coaches of athletes who have been caught and banned for doping will also receive similar punishment. Now is the time to call out, name and shame people, Sumariwalla said in a virtual press conference after the AFI took the path-breaking decision at its executive committee meeting on Friday.
“We will suspend the coaches (who have trained the dope offenders), we will inform the relevant departments and they will not be allowed to enter the stadium. Whatever position these people hold, they will have to be removed from there.
The decision came on the day it was revealed that Olympic-bound female boxer Parveen Hooda has been temporarily suspended for failure to meet, which is considered a violation of anti-doping rules.
However, this seems like a step taken to maintain the growing stature of Indian athletics, as Neeraj Chopra had enhanced it by winning Olympic and World Championship titles and discouraging the doping taint.,
AFI's decision on Friday was taken after nearly six months of discussions with various stakeholders. He said, “We talked to various agencies in this regard. If coaches take a share of the athletes' cash prizes, they should also receive sticks.
All coaches, including those with NIS diploma, will have to be registered with the AFI to guarantee accountability. Sumariwala said athletes will have to disclose the name of the coach on dope control papers to ensure accountability and identification.“There can't just be a carrot, there has to be a stick.” The move would also prevent many coaches from claiming accolades when an athlete succeeds.
Olympic-bound competitors, many of whom are preparing abroad, will begin training camps in Poland on July 5 and will compete at the Paris Games on July 28.
In other important decisions on Friday, the AFI took steps to decentralize post-Olympics coaching camps, implement a uniform calendar for state and district competitions, enhance the technical governance of the event (including disciplining officials who neglect their duties) and Resolved to make qualification certificates digital. Use the government's DigiLocker app to protect certificates for jobs and promotions from being fake.
