"WADA chief Witold Banka stated, 'We see the problem of production of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) - India is the biggest producer of those illegal substances. That's why we collaborate with CBI, with law enforcement, to try to destroy this market and to really protect the lives of athletes and the health of society.'"
"Gunter Younger, head of investigations for WADA, mentioned, 'We are here because India is the biggest population [1.4 billion] and we see how important it is for the Indian authorities, and we see the need to strengthen the system here - it's a common interest.'"
"Younger emphasized the need to shift focus, stating, 'To strike a blow against the doping menace, the focus should be shifted from athletes to the suppliers of the PEDs.'"
WADA is focusing on India's performance-enhancing drugs production, the largest globally, to combat doping. WADA chief Witold Banka emphasizes collaboration with India's CBI to disrupt the supply chain of illegal drugs. The agency has initiated the Global Anti-Doping Intelligence and Investigations Network to tackle the doping crisis. Recent operations have led to significant seizures and dismantling of illicit labs. WADA aims to strengthen ties with Indian authorities to address the issue comprehensively, shifting focus from athletes to suppliers of PEDs.
