Manipulation of date of birth by athletes in order to qualify for participation in junior competitions is the bane of Indian sports. The problem is spread across all sports and it happens with the blessings of parents, coaches and school authorities. Age fraud is as serious an offence as doping. In the case of doping, there is the World anti-doping agency code which books and punishes dope cheats. In the case of age fraud, it is high time the government enforces a code of conduct to deal with it.
