India is a developing country and a lot has been spent on building the sports infrastructure. Will changed mindset or giving marks inculcate the sporting culture in the youth?  India should also work towards spending money on building the pool for sportspersons who can win laurels for the country. Corporates also need to redefine their role in the sports arena and help in developing sporting culture.

The sports persons are dependent on their coaches for information on food supplements which makes it imperative for the coaches to know what is acceptable and permitted. With the ever changing medicine scenario, it’s complex for the sports persons to keep tab and information on banned drugs. Easy availability of supplements and lack of labeling detailing leads to misuse.
