Athlete Passport Management Unit: Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports Mansukh Mandaviya inaugurated the Athlete Passport Management Unit (APMU) at the National Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL) in New Delhi on Thursday. This initiative reaffirms India’s commitment to promoting clean and transparent sports practices on both national and international platforms.

Speaking during the occasion, Mandaviya said, "APMU is a key milestone in India’s fight against doping, enabling the longitudinal tracking of Athletes Biological profiles through the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) system. This innovative mechanism will help in detecting doping patterns and protect the fairness of sports by identifying unethical practices."

Calling the APMU as a beacon of support for Global South, the Union Minister said it will help our neighbouring countries that don’t have enough resources to set up similar systems.
