Centre issues guidelines to prevent age frauds in sports | Union Government on Friday issued detailed guidelines in order to prevent age fraud in sports and ensure
fair play. As the National Code against age fraud in Sports is still pending the Sports and Youth Affairs Ministry issued detailed guidelines to all sports federations,
associations and bodies to ensure that overage players are not allowed to participate
at any level of competitions. The Ministry also advised the sports administration
in the country to treat age fraud on the same lines as anti -doping measures as
both amounts to cheating and violates basic spirit of sport. Expressing serious
concern over the matter, Ministry stated: "In the recent past, incidents of age
fraud committed by athletes, in some major tournaments and selection trials have
come to the notice of the government, which is a matter of serious concern." "In
order to ensure fair play , it is imperative that stringent action is taken against
athletes found guilty of committing age fraud and also against their abettors.
Government has therefore decided that all sports federations, associations and
bodies should take appropriate measures to check age fraud on the same lines as
anti -doping measures as both amounts to cheating, which is violative of the basic
spirit of sport," communiqué stated. |
