NEW DELHI: It was on August 23 that Union Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju had with much certainty asserted India would file an appeal before the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Switzerland against the decision of the World Anti-Doping Agency to suspend the accreditation of National Dope Testing Laboratory.
This followed WADA's decision on August 20 to suspend NDTL's accreditation for six months over its deficient testing procedure protocols.
