POST GAMES REPORT - Commonwealth Games Federation

MEDICAL AND DOPING CONTROL
The Medical Programme was responsible for planning
and delivering a venue-based first-aid, emergency first
response and transfer service to all persons within official
Games venues. In addition a dedicated hospital network was
established to provide more specialised care to accredited
members of the Commonwealth Games Family.
The mission of the Doping Control FA was to implement
an effective doping control programme at the Games. The OC
CWG Delhi 2010, under the supervision of the CGF Medical
Commission, conducted the doping control programme as
per the tenets of the CGF Anti-Doping Standard which was
approved by the World Anti-Doping Agency. The CGF Anti-
Doping Standard applied to all athletes who participated in
Delhi 2010, i.e., able-bodied athletes, para athletes as well as
athletes’ support personnel.
The Medical Programme successfully delivered the following:
• Polyclinic with 10 observation beds at the Games Village
• Medical centres at stadia (both competition and training
venues)
• Medical coverage (first aid posts and ambulance) for road
races (Cycling, Marathon, and Walk)
• First aid posts for spectators at competition venues and
at Pragati Maidan and Games officials, Games Family and
accredited media personnel
• At Hotels Ashok, Samrat and Janpath, one doctor and one
paramedic were present two hours in the morning and
two hours in the evening. A listening post was also set up.
Specialists were available 24 hours on call with a 24 hours
ambulance back up.
• Designation of three hospitals (G.B. Pant, All India Institute
of Medical Sciences and Ram Manohar Lohia) for definitive
medical care of participants, Team Officials, Technical
Delegates, members of the CGF and Games Family
• Health care transportation (ambulance) arrangements
* For competition and non-competition venues
* For road races
* For spectators
* For eventuality management
No legal challenge was lodged by any athlete or CGA during
the Games. The Doping Control programme was conducted
in accordance with International Standard for Testing and was
monitored by a team of Independent Observers from the
World Anti-Doping Agency and the CGF Medical Commission
members. The testing of the sample was done at National
Dope Testing Laboratory (NDTL), New Delhi.
According to the information obtained by the Doping
Control management, the NDTL managed to carry-out
their analytical reporting with no delay even when their daily
maximum tests had been exceeded.
