And now as the senior vice-president of Athletics Federation of India (AFI), Anju is keen to lead the fight against doping. “I am ready to be in the front in the fight against doping,” said Anju, the country’s lone World Championships medallist (bronze, 2003 Worlds in Paris) in a chat with The Hindu. A few years ago, India was third in world list of countries with most doping cases. “We are on the edge of being disqualified for the number of athletes suspended for dope, so we (the AFI) have zero tolerance towards doping and age fraud. You will think that you would not be able to perform because you don't have the support of that particular substance,” she said.
