Bollywood actor Sunil Shetty has been appointed as brand ambassador of the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA). The NADA itself has officially confirmed this on Tuesday. NADA and All India Football Federation (AIFF) recently organized anti-doping awareness workshops for all footballers.
This awareness campaign launched on a large scale was against doping. NADA wants to take it regularly from 2019-20 under educational program. NADA designed this program for Indian football, which was first organized in November 2019. Under this program, it is an attempt to motivate all the players to participate in dope-free sports internationally.
Dr. Shyam Kumar Adapa, Regional Coordinator of the National Anti-Doping Association has said that our priority is to represent our country by playing Dope Free Sport at any international level. Dr. Shyam has said, "The main objective of this seminar is to achieve dope free sport. It was focused to bring awareness about the recent updates of the WADA code among junior and senior teams."
According to AIFF Adapa has said, we dedicate this workshop at least one hour a month. This will keep players from having every single update of anti-doping in the workshop. Not only this, NADA (National Anti-Doping Agency) will try to bring sportspersons of all kinds of sports in the country once a month.
