<p>The NADA panel headed by Sudhir Nandrajog, subsequently made SAI a party in the case filed by 1992 Asian Marathon champion Sunita Godara.<br /><br />Godara had demanded that the list of dope offenders from 1991-2000 be released but SAI said it cannot provide the list because the concerned NSFs did not maintain such records.<br />But the panel asked SAI to furnish the names of dope offenders whose records are available with any of the NSFs.<br /><br />The panel said that SAI is a necessary party to this proceedings and that the documents provided by SAI will be necessary for the panel to settle the long-pending dispute. The panel issued notice to SAI to appoint an official for the next hearing date.<br /><br />Last month, the NADA panel had released a 37-page list on the orders of the Delhi High Court pertaining to the 2001-2008 period in which around 120 athletes out of the list of 360-odd were found to have gone unpunished by their respective federations even after they flunked dope tests.<br /><br />NADA had released the list last month after the HC passed an order in July 2009, asking it to take appropriate action against the dope-flunked athletes for the period from 1991 to 2008, on a Public Interest Litigation filed in 2000 by Godara.<br /><br />SAI had submitted two lists of dope offenders — of 257 and 301 athletes — before the High Court, one on July 24, 2001 (pertaining to 1991 to 2001) and the other in 2009 (pertaining to 2001 to 2008).<br /><br />Godara had filed a Civil Writ Petition in 1998 and Delhi High Court converted it into a PIL two years later.<br /><br />The first hearing before the NADA panel was held on November 17.
