A Kenyan coach was involved in a dog bite incident during the World Para Athletics Championships at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, New Delhi. Coach Dennis was conversing with an athlete when a stray dog bit him, prompting immediate medical intervention. Fortunately, he is reported to be in stable condition following treatment at a nearby hospital.
The unfortunate incident occurred near the call room, an area designated for athletes to gather before their events. Meanwhile, additional safety measures are being considered to prevent such occurrences in the future. Coach Dennis is expected to fully recover after continuing his medication.
A separate development during the championships involves anti-doping measures. Approximately 35 Dope Sample Officers from the National Anti-Doping Agency are present to collect samples from around 1500 participants. Being the host nation, India is coordinating these efforts, with the National Dope Testing Laboratory in Delhi taking charge of testing.
