India's Anti-Doping Law
India's National Anti-Doping Act, 2022, read with its 2025 amendment, is the statute that puts the country's clean-sport regime on a legal footing; both came into force in July 2026, with commencement announced on 17 July. It is in the news because Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced on 27 October 2026 that the government will bring a further amendment in Parliament's next session to add criminal provisions against doping violations.
