NEW DELHI, Jan 24 (PTI): Sports Minister Ajay Maken today once again strongly campaigned for implementing the proposed Sports Bill at the earliest, so that the menace like age-fraud and doping could be dealt with.
Addressing the concerns of the budding basketball players who are forced to play against those who fudge age, Maken said he was aware of the �age-fraud� issues at schools and colleges.
The minister, however, assured that once the Sports Bill, which covers issues like sexual harassment of the athletes, strict action against age-fraud and doping, is passed, these concerns would become a thing of the past.
�Once the Sports Bill comes into practice, this age-fraud issue would be a thing of the past as we would assure that age fraud detections will be done by the officials at all schools and colleges,� said Maken, at the sidelines of a conference on �Sports as a Full Time Career in India� here.
