The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has released testing data for 2022, and it shows that India has the greatest rate of doping offenders. The report stated that 127 athletes, or 3.26 percent of the sample size, tested positive for prohibited substances out of 4,064 samples taken from Indian athletes (including urine, blood, and athlete biological passports). The Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS) reported a 6.4% rise in samples overall in 2022 compared to the previous year, according to a WADA report. Additionally, the percentage of AAF grew from 0.65% in 2021 to 0.77 percent in 2022. The National Anti-Doping Laboratory (NDTL) at the JLN stadium in India examined samples. The analysis was based on drug test failures across national borders, wherein testing laboratories examined over two thousand samples. South Africa came in second place after India, reporting 80 doping failures (2.04 percent of 4,169 samples tested). Bangkok's testing facility came in third, reporting 1.93 percent of its testing pool (3,402 samples), of which 65 cases resulted in AAFs. Fourth and fifth place went to the United States and Qatar, respectively. South Africa came in second place after India, reporting 80 doping failures (2.04 percent of 4,169 samples tested).

India has more doping infractions than major international sports nations like France (72) and Italy (73), Russia (85), and the United States (84). With 17,357 samples tested over the course of the counting period, China carried out the most testing, with a 0.25 percent unfavorable finding percentage. With 11 cases, or 1.8% of adverse analytical findings (AAFs), India also topped the list for the highest percentage of failed EPO-Receptor Agonists (ERA) tests performed per laboratory (blood). The report's findings demonstrate how pervasive doping is in Indian sports and how urgently solutions to the problem must be found. It also demands that the nation have a strong infrastructure for science and research. Furthermore, the data highlights the deficiency of fundamental understanding of prohibited supplements and medications among Indian physicians, physiotherapists, and coaches working with teams in diverse fields. https://today-news.co.in/2024/04/08/wada-anti-doping-report-india-tops-list-of-doping-offenders-in-2022/
