Performance-enhancing drugs are no longer restricted to the high-stakes world of professional sports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eleven participants at the 57th National School Games in Delhi-from Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, and aged between 14 and 19-tested positive for such substances earlier this year. Alarmed by the dangerous trend, the government&#039;s National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) shot off a letter to various educational boards and universities across the country, asking them to ensure dope-free sports. The agency also wanted school authorities to keep a strict vigil on coaches and other sport-support personnel who are closely associated with schoolchildren.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that NADA officials tested school athletes and published the data. The ICSE board recently uploaded the circular on its website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 7,000 students had participated in the event. The agency collected 81 random samples from three categories-wrestling (30), boxing (31) and weightlifting (20). The analytical report of the National Dope Testing Laboratory showed up 11 samples containing prohibited substances. &amp;quot;The occurrence of such positive results at the school level is a disturbing trend. NADA, being the regulatory body, is extremely concerned about it and has already written to the School Games Federation to review the matter,&amp;quot; said Rahul Bhatnagar, director-general, NADA, in a letter to various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The championship was organized jointly by the School Games Federation of India and the Director of Education (Sports) of Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While NADA officials were expecting to find use of anabolic steroids, they were surprised to discover that marijuana abuse was on the rise among school-level athletes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its circular, the agency&#039;s officials have emphasized that education boards must take the incidence of doping among schoolchildren seriously, and initiate necessary action to curb the menace at school sporting events. &amp;quot;Education boards may consider issuing necessary instructions for dope-free sports among children and, if required, inclusion of a chapter in the relevant syllabus in the educational system,&amp;quot; the letter added. &amp;quot;It is important to understand that indulgence in doping by schoolchildren, apart from being an unfair practice as far as sports is concerned, is extremely harmful and detrimental to the health of children. It is a concern for all of us as citizens and especially for educational boards such as CBSE, ICSE and state boards, which exercise some measure of control on schools,&amp;quot; said Bhatnagar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NADA circular has mentioned that it will organize dope-control programmes during the zonal and national level games organized by various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We have not yet thought about how to implement this in schools,&amp;quot; said Fr Jose Aikara, chairman, ICSE Board.

Performance-enhancing drugs are no longer restricted to the high-stakes world of professional sports.

$disp = &#039;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Performance-enhancing drugs are no longer restricted to the high-stakes world of professional sports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eleven participants at the 57th National School Games in Delhi-from Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, and aged between 14 and 19-tested positive for such substances earlier this year. Alarmed by the dangerous trend, the government&#039;s National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) shot off a letter to various educational boards and universities across the country, asking them to ensure dope-free sports. The agency also wanted school authorities to keep a strict vigil on coaches and other sport-support personnel who are closely associated with schoolchildren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the first time that NADA officials tested school athletes and published the data. The ICSE board recently uploaded the circular on its website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 7,000 students had participated in the event. The agency collected 81 random samples from three categories-wrestling (30), boxing (31) and weightlifting (20). The analytical report of the National Dope Testing Laboratory showed up 11 samples containing prohibited substances. &amp;quot;The occurrence of such positive results at the school level is a disturbing trend. NADA, being the regulatory body, is extremely concerned about it and has already written to the School Games Federation to review the matter,&amp;quot; said Rahul Bhatnagar, director-general, NADA, in a letter to various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The championship was organized jointly by the School Games Federation of India and the Director of Education (Sports) of Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While NADA officials were expecting to find use of anabolic steroids, they were surprised to discover that marijuana abuse was on the rise among school-level athletes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its circular, the agency&#039;s officials have emphasized that education boards must take the incidence of doping among schoolchildren seriously, and initiate necessary action to curb the menace at school sporting events. &amp;quot;Education boards may consider issuing necessary instructions for dope-free sports among children and, if required, inclusion of a chapter in the relevant syllabus in the educational system,&amp;quot; the letter added. &amp;quot;It is important to understand that indulgence in doping by schoolchildren, apart from being an unfair practice as far as sports is concerned, is extremely harmful and detrimental to the health of children. It is a concern for all of us as citizens and especially for educational boards such as CBSE, ICSE and state boards, which exercise some measure of control on schools,&amp;quot; said Bhatnagar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The NADA circular has mentioned that it will organize dope-control programmes during the zonal and national level games organized by various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;We have not yet thought about how to implement this in schools,&amp;quot; said Fr Jose Aikara, chairman, ICSE Board.&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Performance-enhancing drugs are no longer restricted to the high-stakes world of professional sports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eleven participants at the 57th National School Games in Delhi-from Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, and aged between 14 and 19-tested positive for such substances earlier this year. Alarmed by the dangerous trend, the government&#039;s National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) shot off a letter to various educational boards and universities across the country, asking them to ensure dope-free sports. The agency also wanted school authorities to keep a strict vigil on coaches and other sport-support personnel who are closely associated with schoolchildren.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was the first time that NADA officials tested school athletes and published the data. The ICSE board recently uploaded the circular on its website.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
More than 7,000 students had participated in the event. The agency collected 81 random samples from three categories-wrestling (30), boxing (31) and weightlifting (20). The analytical report of the National Dope Testing Laboratory showed up 11 samples containing prohibited substances. &amp;quot;The occurrence of such positive results at the school level is a disturbing trend. NADA, being the regulatory body, is extremely concerned about it and has already written to the School Games Federation to review the matter,&amp;quot; said Rahul Bhatnagar, director-general, NADA, in a letter to various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The championship was organized jointly by the School Games Federation of India and the Director of Education (Sports) of Delhi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While NADA officials were expecting to find use of anabolic steroids, they were surprised to discover that marijuana abuse was on the rise among school-level athletes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In its circular, the agency&#039;s officials have emphasized that education boards must take the incidence of doping among schoolchildren seriously, and initiate necessary action to curb the menace at school sporting events. &amp;quot;Education boards may consider issuing necessary instructions for dope-free sports among children and, if required, inclusion of a chapter in the relevant syllabus in the educational system,&amp;quot; the letter added. &amp;quot;It is important to understand that indulgence in doping by schoolchildren, apart from being an unfair practice as far as sports is concerned, is extremely harmful and detrimental to the health of children. It is a concern for all of us as citizens and especially for educational boards such as CBSE, ICSE and state boards, which exercise some measure of control on schools,&amp;quot; said Bhatnagar.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NADA circular has mentioned that it will organize dope-control programmes during the zonal and national level games organized by various educational boards.&lt;br /&gt;

Doping in school sports rings alarm bells in government-Shreya Bhandary

Performance-enhancing drugs are no longer restricted to the high-stakes world of professional sports. Eleven participants at the 57th National School Games in Delhi-from Maharashtra, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, and aged between 14 and 19-tested positive for such substances earlier this year. Alarmed by the dangerous trend, the government's National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) shot off a letter to various educational boards and universities across the country, asking them to ensure dope-free sports. The agency also wanted school authorities to keep a strict vigil on coaches and other sport-support personnel who are closely associated with schoolchildren. It was the first time that NADA officials tested school athletes and published the data. The ICSE board recently uploaded the circular on its website. More than 7,000 students had participated in the event. The agency collected 81 random samples from three categories-wrestling (30), boxing (31) and weightlifting (20). The analytical report of the National Dope Testing Laboratory showed up 11 samples containing prohibited substances. "The occurrence of such positive results at the school level is a disturbing trend. NADA, being the regulatory body, is extremely concerned about it and has already written to the School Games Federation to review the matter," said Rahul Bhatnagar, director-general, NADA, in a letter to various educational boards. The championship was organized jointly by the School Games Federation of India and the Director of Education (Sports) of Delhi. While NADA officials were expecting to find use of anabolic steroids, they were surprised to discover that marijuana abuse was on the rise among school-level athletes. In its circular, the agency's officials have emphasized that education boards must take the incidence of doping among schoolchildren seriously, and initiate necessary action to curb the menace at school sporting events. "Education boards may consider issuing necessary instructions for dope-free sports among children and, if required, inclusion of a chapter in the relevant syllabus in the educational system," the letter added. "It is important to understand that indulgence in doping by schoolchildren, apart from being an unfair practice as far as sports is concerned, is extremely harmful and detrimental to the health of children. It is a concern for all of us as citizens and especially for educational boards such as CBSE, ICSE and state boards, which exercise some measure of control on schools," said Bhatnagar. The NADA circular has mentioned that it will organize dope-control programmes during the zonal and national level games organized by various educational boards. "We have not yet thought about how to implement this in schools," said Fr Jose Aikara, chairman, ICSE Board.
