Sports Minister Launches Reference Material For Anti-Dope Testing

Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju on January 29 launched a "breakthrough" Reference Material for facilitating chemical testing in the anti-doping domain. The RM, collectively manufactured by National Dope Testing Laboratory and National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, is ostensibly amongst the rarest RMs worldwide. It would enhance testing capacities of all World Anti Doping Agency (WADA)-accredited laboratories. "The substance is small but the impact is big. Sportsmanship means clean sport and no cheating," said Rijiju.
