India National Dope Tender

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has granted approval for the NDTL, New Delhi on 6th December 2024, as an Athlete Passport Management Unit (APMU) to manage the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP).

The Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) is an advanced anti-doping tool that monitors an athletes biological markers over time. By analyzing variations in parameters such as blood and steroid profiles, the ABP helps to ensure fair play in sports and to protect clean athletes.

This milestone marks a significant achievement for India in advancing its anti-doping initiatives. Now, India is part of a group of the 17 APMUs approved by WADA worldwide. Indias APMU would serve the country as well as the anti-doping organizations of neighbouring countries.

It is a matter of great pride for India and the NDTL, New Delhi. This recognition will open new pathways and strengthen NDTLs credibility as a key player in the world for the fight against doping.
