New Delhi, Aug 2 : The Union Cabinet today gave its approval for acceptance and ratification of the International Convention against doping in sports.
"Keeping in view the menace of doping in sports, this decision will result in rising global concern about its ill-effects; and India's commitment to anti-doping expressed through acceptance of Copenhagen Declaration in 2004, " a Cabinet Committee release said.
The convention was adopted by the 33rd session of General Conference of UNESCO held in Paris on October 19, 2005.
The convention will be implemented within a month by depositing the instruments of ratification and acceptance with UNESCO Director General Koichiro Matsuura. The follow up action will be completed in six months.
