WADA extends suspension of India's NDTL by six months

The Hindu  

Indian sports’ anti-doping programme continues to flounder, with the World Anti-Doping Agency extending the suspension of the National Dope Testing Laboratory for further six months. The suspension, which prohibits the NDTL from carrying out any anti-doping activities, including all analyses of urine and blood samples, was imposed due to “non-conformities with the International Standard for Laboratories as identified during a WADA site visit, including about the laboratory’s Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry analytical method,” WADA said in a statement late on Tuesday. “Should the laboratory not address the non-conformities by the end of the six-month suspension period, WADA may extend the suspension of the laboratory’s accreditation for up to an additional six months,” the statement added. With certain outstanding non-conformities not addressed successfully even after the six-month period had elapsed, WADA’s Laboratory Expert Group recommended initiation of further disciplinary proceedings in February this year by an independent Disciplinary Committee.
