WADA extends suspension of India's dope testing laboratory for 6 months
In a jolt to India's Olympic preparations, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
has extended the suspension of the country's National Dope Testing Laboratory
(NDTL) by another six months citing non-conformation to international
standards.
The WADA first suspended
NDTL in August last year for a period of six months. A fresh round of
inspection by the world body, much to the embarrassment of country's sporting
establishment, showed that non-conformities still existed.
"The
World Anti-Doping Agency
has suspended the accreditation of the National Dope Testing Laboratory in New
Delhi, India, for a second period of up to six months," WADA said in a
statement.
The
suspension prohibits the NDTL from carrying out any anti-doping activities,
including all analyses of urine and blood samples.
