BENGALURU: Sports Authority of India (SAI) Director General Injeti Srinivas on Saturday made it clear that no Rio Olympics-bound hockey player was issued notice by the National Anti-Doping Agency for ‘whereabouts’ filing failure as has been reported in a section of the media.
Srinivas, who accompanied new sports minister Vijay Goel to inspect the facilities at the SAI Centre here, disclosed that two “individual athletes” were issued notices for not updating their ‘whereabouts’ status to the NADA.
“There was a case of two athletes who had not updated their whereabouts status with NADA. They later explained the reason for their difficulties to update their whereabouts on NADA website. NADA was satisfied and therefore this matter is behind us,” Srinivas told reporters. (PTI)
