NEW DELHI: (Apr 17) Sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurated an Athlete Passport Management Unit (APMU) at the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) here on Thursday, making India the 17th country in the world to have a dedicated system for tracking blood and steroidal profiles of athletes over a period of time.
The APMU will serve as a specialised body responsible for monitoring and managing the biological passports of athletes.
To detect doping, a biological passport compiles data on an athlete’s variables such as blood parameters, hormonal levels, and other physiological markers.( PTI)
