Article Content (Summary):
Olympian Mercy Kuttan advocates for mandatory doping tests for athletes training at private academies, at least 2 months before sports fairs. She highlights concerns about drug use among young athletes, the use of supplements by some trainers, and the dangers of excessive training for quick results. She believes this practice disadvantages naturally talented children and can lead to injuries and loss of ability. The article appears to be related to a discussion (“Vision 2036: Our Olympics,Our Medal”) organized by Malayalam Manorama in anticipation of a school sports fair.
