It was reported that Nilani Ratnayake, a long-distance runner from Sri Lanka, has been summoned by the Anti-Doping Agency for a special investigation on 5 July.

The agency intends to conduct an investigation regarding a report that Nilani's medical sample contained prohibited stimulants during a random medical sample test conducted recently. According to reliable sources, it has also been reported that it contains an “anabolic steroid” component. Nilani is a promising athlete for the upcoming Asian Games, and no such disciplinary breaches have been recorded with her name. 

There are also reports of a suspicion that someone might have subtly added this ingredient to Nilani's consumables. However, critics in the field say that there is a lack of proper education among the athletes in Sri Lanka regarding doping. In the last 10 years, it is reported that 52 athletes have been reported from Sri Lanka with doping violations. 

But it is also stated that none of the athletes have disclosed any method or person on how they received these substances. 

Some experts also say that athletes in some countries are constantly connected to the Internet and are updated about the nutritional supplements and foods they consume,even though it isn’t the same with Sri Lankan athletes who are way outdated in the topic. 

However, experts in the field also claim that in a country like Sri Lanka, there is a low level of awareness regarding the nutritional supplements and medical advice that athletes should receive, mostly due to lower economic status.
