New Delhi: Continuing its drive to catch drug cheats following the athletics doping scandal, National Anti-Doping Agency (Nada) on Saturday conducted its third raid in a week at a Sports Authority of India (Sai) facility with a surprise visit at the Bhopal centre.

A Nada team, headed by Manpal Singh, checked the rooms of the trainees at the centre for banned substances and took random urine samples from them.

“Nada deputed a team of officers today from Delhi and Bhopal and included two technical officers of Nada and two lady doping control officers to conduct surprise check in Sai Bhopal,” Nada Director General Rahul Bhatnagar said in a statement.

“The team reached the Sai centre and checked rooms of sportspersons for banned substances and also took urine sample,” the statement said.
