Lok Sabha passes bill to create a statutory framework for Anti-doping watchdog

Context

The Lok Sabha recently passed a Bill that seeks to create a statutory framework for the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA).

About

The National Anti-Doping Bill, 2021:

The Bill provides for a statutory framework for the operation of National Anti-Doping Agency, the National Dope Testing Laboratory and other dope testing laboratories and creation of a National Board for Anti-Doping in sport for carrying out and regulating anti-doping activities in sports in the country.
The Bill gives effect to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisaton (UNESCO) international convention against doping in sport.

Highlights of the Bill

The Bill prohibits athletes, athlete support personnel, and other persons from engaging in doping in sport.
Currently, anti-doping rules are implemented by the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA), which was established as a society.
The Bill provides for constituting NADA as a statutory body headed by a Director General appointed by the central government.
Functions of the Agency include planning, implementing and monitoring anti-doping activities, and investigating anti-doping rule violations.
The National Board for Anti-Doping in Sports will be established to make recommendations to the government on anti-doping regulations and compliance with international commitments on anti-doping.
The Board will oversee the activities of NADA and issue directions to it.
The Board will constitute a National Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel for determining consequences of anti-doping rule violations.
Further, the Board will constitute a National Anti-Doping Appeal Panel to hear appeals against decisions of the Disciplinary Panel.

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA):

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was established in 1999 as an international independent agency composed and funded by the sport movement and governments of the world.
The Conference resulted in the Lausanne Declaration on Doping in Sport – a document that provided for the creation of an independent international anti-doping agency.
WADA is recognised by the UNESCO International Convention against Doping in Sport (2005).
WADA’s primary role is to develop, harmonise, and coordinate anti-doping regulations across all sports and countries.
It does so by ensuring proper implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code (WADA Code) and its standards, conducting investigations into doping incidents, conducting research on doping, and educating sportspersons and related personnel on anti-doping regulations.

National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA):

NADA was established as an autonomous body under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 in November, 2009.
Functions of NADA include:
- implementing anti-doping rules as per World Anti-Doping Code,
- regulating doping control programme,
- conducting dope tests, and
- authorising penalties in case of any violations
India does not have an anti-doping law.
