IIS Bellary expels 23 athletes after syringes found on campus

Inspire Institute of Sports, managed and operated by JSW, threw out 23 athletes from its Bellary Center in Karnataka recently after syringes were found on the campus.

The athletes, belonging to various sports disciplines, were ejected from the campus in October last year.

"We did find a few syringes on the campus, and athletes were expelled on disciplinary grounds in line with the strict internal policies we follow at the IIS," said Rushdee Warley, CEO of IIS, in a statement to the PTI.

Warley said the IIS is committed to nip doping in its centers, and strong measures are in place to keep a vigil on the athletes.
