Doping Scandal: Wrestling Grapples with Rising Drug Use

Doping Scandal: Wrestling Grapples with Rising Drug Use

Some wrestlers in India are getting caught using illegal drugs to help them win.

Five young wrestlers and one Olympian are in trouble.

It seems some people are selling these drugs, promising fast results.

However, these drugs are often not safe and can lead to getting banned from wrestling.

It also mentions that some parents and athletes are not patient.

They want to win fast, which might lead them to make the wrong choices.

Also, during the pandemic, there were fewer checks on the wrestlers, making it easier for them to use these substances.
