NDTL's budget reduced
In this budget, the banned NDTL from WADA has suffered. Its budget has been increased from 7. 5 crores to 2. 5 crores. At the same time, the budget of Nada has been increased from 7. 5 to 12. 5 crore. The reason for this is the increased expenditure due to the dope testing of the players engaged in preparations for the Olympics from Doha Lab in Qatar.
