AFI Permission Made Mandatory For Athletes For Training, Exposure Trips Abroad
Bahadur Singh Sagoo: After a recent case of an Indian athlete testing positive for a banned substance during an exposure trip abroad, the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) has made it mandatory for all those desiring to go abroad for training or competition to take written permission from the national body.
The AFI will take action against erring athletes for not taking valid written permission to compete and train on foreign soil from this month, AFI president Bahadur Singh Sagoo said on Saturday.
"Disciplinary action will be taken against those individual athletes who don’t take prior permission to compete and train on foreign soil from the national governing body of track and field in the country," the AFI president said.
