This study examines the doping violations among Indian women in sports, emphasizing the substances most frequently detected and their physiological and psychological impacts. The study sheds light on the unique vulnerabilities of female athletes to performance-enhancing drugs and examines trends in substance use, health consequences, and the broader implications for sports integrity. By analyzing data from 2009 to 2023, the paper highlights the need for targeted anti-doping education, gender-responsive testing protocols, and comprehensive support systems. The ultimate goal is to foster a sporting environment where women can compete safely and fairly, free from the risks associated with banned substances.
