ABSTRACT
Doping is considered as a moral and ethical wrong. It is a global problem. Doping is the
misuse of certain substances and methods to enhance sporting performance and stamina
as by taking such substances body can transport more oxygen to muscles. However, there
are a lot of side effects of consuming such substances as they directly affect health of a
person leading to infections, allergies, heart diseases, stroke, pulmonary embolism, high
blood pressure, acne, impotency in men and alterations in menstrual cycle of women. Thus,
doping can have a direct impact on sports competitions. Anti-Doping laws are framed at
both National and International level but these laws are always in a conflict with each
other as there is no co-relation between them. International Sports Federation is making
efforts to combat this problem of doping by organising awareness programmes, efficient
medical treatment but despite of this little success is achieved, as strong and unnoticeable
techniques are adopted by sportspersons, these new innovative techniques of taking drugs
are evolving thus challenging the war against doping as it is becoming quite a task for
experts to detect these substances and drugs. It is the responsibility of authorities to be
aware of these updated substances and drugs and to ensure prevention of them to facilitate
fair competition. This research paper aimed to apply Doctrinal research method for doping
analysis and provide a critical review of the literature on this topic and focus on the
problem of doping, its impact, actual application of doping whether it is appropriate or not
to enhance performance, all legislative and judicial approaches regarding doping, Indian
laws dealing with doping, case laws on doping and obligations of State and judicial trends.
Keywords: Doping, WADA, Sportspersons, Anti- Doping laws, Fair Competition, NADA.
