The Athletics Integrity Unit flagged India's inadequate anti-doping programme, designating Indian athletes at 'extremely high' risk of doping. India ranks among top two nations globally for athletics doping offences from 2022-2025. The downgrade complicates India's 2036 Olympics hosting bid and mandates extensive testing for international competitors.
