Rohtak, July 24 -- A look at NADA's list of suspended athletes reveals that wrestling has the second most dope offenders among all sporting disciplines in India.The number stands at 19, but what is alarming is that five of them are minors. If the menace of doping has spread to the junior level in wrestling, it's time that stakeholders wake up and start taking corrective measures before the situation gets worse. U23 world champion and Olympian Reetika Hooda's provisional suspension has yet again made doping a hot topic in Indian wrestling. Indian wrestlers' performance has been very encouraging in the last few years, especially at the junior level and this advantage must not be lost due to the misadventure of a few.The Indian teams, especially women, have trumped powerhouses like Japan and the USA to clinch junior team championships, recently.

Most coaches and parents understand that a sport like wrestling requires endurance, strength, technical and tactical acumen and an investment of at least 8-10 years to get success at international level.But many do not have the virtue of patience or awareness to make right decisions. Add to that financial constraints and it becomes easy to fall to temptations. "I do not come from a sporting background, so we hardly know what would be the right step," said the father of a minor, who is now fighting a dope case. "A reputed wrestler told my daughter that her own performance got better after taking supplements from a local nutrition supplier (name withheld) and that she should also take the same from him. While coach Mandeep Saini had warned us not to take supplements from unauthorised people, we still fell for it," admitted the man, who runs a business. Most of the promising wrestlers are sponsored by JSW, OGQ and Reliance. These sports NGOs also guide their wresters on nutrition and provide supplements. Although Reetika got her supplements from Reliance, wrestlers also consume supplements from other brands....
