Sajib Nandi 269 Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 India may be considered a sporting minnow but in terms of doping by its athletes, it has been ranked third behind Russia and Turkey in a World Anti-Doping Agency Report for 2013 with as many as 91 from the country testing positive for banned substances in that year. According to the 2013 Anti-Doping Rule Violations Report released by the WADA on June 15, Russia has maximum number of dope offenders with 212 testing positive while the figures for Turkey and India were 155 and 91 respectively. Of the 91 Indians, 20 were women athletes. India third in global doping report for 2013 by WADA | Business Standard News 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MANOJ B. PATEL 21 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Yes, your doubt is correct e.g. In November 1997, Cyclingnews.com reported about an inquiry that had just been made public in The Netherlands. This inquiry appeared to reveal doping in the PDM cycling team. The doctor of the team from between 1990 and 1991 was Wim Sanders who was the centre of the investigation which was reported to have been initiated when the General Manager of the team, Manfred Krikke, called the Fiscal Information and Investigation Service to investigate the medical business of the team. It was said that Wim Sanders supplied anabolic steroids and EPO to the team and was responsible for the ‘intralipid affair’ of the 1991 Tour de France, when the entire team withdrew due to what was reported at the time as food poisoning. In a 2008 TV documentary; team members and team doctor Wim Sanders explain how the cause was in fact careless storage of Intra lipid, a nutritional aid with which the team members had been injected. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sajib Nandi 269 Posted June 19, 2015 Author Share Posted June 19, 2015 What this thread/ my post no #4 has to do with the Tour de France? Did I unwittingly express any doubt? I do not think so. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
