National Anti-Doping Agency stepped up its vigilance at the Open Throws meet, with officials present in strong numbers to closely monitor the competition.
NADA officials were seen observing multiple events throughout the day and also carried out several random selections for doping tests during the meet.
In one notable instance during the hammer throw event, an athlete was selected for testing mid-competition just after completing his three throws and while packing his bag following elimination.
The randomly selected athlete appeared surprised by the call and was seen confirming the selection with NADA officials before proceeding with the testing process.
The move highlights the agency’s continued efforts to maintain strict anti-doping oversight at domestic athletics competitions.
