About the campaign

Play True. Stay True.

Clean Sport is an initiative of the Neeraj Chopra Foundation, driven by Neeraj's vision of building India into a true sporting nation — one where clean competition is simply the standard. Too often, young athletes risk their careers not by intent, but through a lack of awareness: the wrong supplement, the wrong advice, a label never properly read. Clean Sport exists to close that gap, putting education, guidance, and athlete empowerment at the heart of the conversation — with fellow athletes carrying the message to the next generation. We're proud to have the Indian Olympic Association on board as a partner, helping take this mission to every athlete, from the grassroots to the podium.

MESSAGE from NEERAJ

Discipline. Patience. Longevity. The same things that built a champion also keep one clean.

About the campaign

Building a Clean Sports Culture

Clean Sport raises awareness on anti-doping and the very real risk of accidental doping for young athletes — through supplements, medications, and mislabeling. Knowing more protects your career.

Who is doing what

Neeraj Chopra Foundation

Leading the initiative, shaping its vision and direction, and powers the athlete-to-athlete education at its core.

Indian Olympic Association

Backing the initiative with its institutional strength and reach, helping carry the clean-sport message across India's sporting ecosystem.

Why it matters

Most positive tests in young athletes are not cheating — they are accidents. One mislabelled supplement, one over-the-counter pill, one bad piece of advice can end a career before it starts.
