Indian bodybuilding’s hidden underbelly: Mental health crisis, steroid abuse and young athlete deaths

The US elections are inching closer, and the two candidates are ready to go to any limit to become the next President of the United States.

While <a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/joe-biden">Joe Biden</a> has been accusing his opponent of being a racist and a corrupt leader,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a> is accusing Biden of using drugs, weeks before the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/topics/us-election">US elections</a>.

In an interview with a local TV channel,&nbsp;Fox News, Trump can be heard critiquing Biden's oratory skills, by alleging that Biden cannot even "get out a sentence".

“I think there’s probably — possibly — drugs involved. That’s what I hear. I mean, there’s possibly drugs. I don’t know how you can go from being so bad where you can’t even get out a sentence,” Trump said in the interview.

"I mean, you saw some of those debates with the large number of people on the stage," Mr Trump added. "He was — I mean, I used to say, 'How is it possible that he can even go forward?'," he continued.

This is not the first time Trump has accused his opponent of using drugs. Earlier, towards the end of the month of August, Trump had in an interview urged the authorities to conduct a drug test, claiming that Biden may be on drugs because his debates are "boring".

"Frankly, his best performance was against Bernie. We're going to call for a drug test, by the way, because his best performance was against Bernie,” he said in the Oval office.

“It wasn't that he was Winston Churchill because he wasn't, but it was a normal, boring debate. You know, nothing amazing happened. And we are going to call for a drug test because there's no way — you can't do that," he continued.

Without any hard evidence, Trump has repeatedly accused Biden of using drugs and has more than once made fun of his oratory skills, and has often called him 'sleepy Joe'.

Biden is&nbsp;not the only to be a victim of name-calling by Trump.

US election 2020: Trump accuses Biden of using performance enhancing drugs

UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has been heavily criticised for its handling of information relating to a doctor who was allegedly supplying athletes with banned substances. 
 
The agency, a national organisation committed to drug-free sport, commissioned an independent review after claims aired in the Sunday Times that Dr Mark Bonar had provided more than 150 elite athletes with performance-enhancing drugs. 
 
Amateur cyclist Dan Stevens turned whistleblower in the hope of reducing his suspension after he was banned for two years for breaching anti-doping rules in 2014. 
 
But the review&#39;s report censured UKAD for failing to pursue claims against Bonar and for not contacting his professional body, the General Medical Council. 
 
While praising UKAD staff for their &quot;transparency&quot; and commitment to clean sport, the report was scathing about certain parts of the investigation into Bonar. 
 
&quot;It is difficult to understand why no contact was made with the GMC when that course of action was suggested on at least seven occasions either by members of UKAD, the athlete (Stevens) and his legal representatives,&quot; said the review&#39;s chairman, former Merseyside assistant chief constable Andy Ward. 
 
He added that &quot;as a minimum standard of investigation, a simple check&quot; with the GMC should have been made to find out if it, as Bonar`s regulatory body, had any information that could &quot;support or negate&quot; Stevens claims. 
 
UKAD was also criticised for not giving Stevens a more lenient sentence after his cooperation, with Ward highlighting the &quot;confusion and lack of clarity&quot; as to how the agency deals with dopers seeking to reduce their sanction in return for &quot;substantial assistance&quot;. 
 
He described UKAD&#39;s dismissal of Stevens request for a lesser punishment as &quot;harsh&quot; and &quot;subjective&quot;. 
 
That dismissal prompted Stevens to take his story to the Sunday Times, which then filmed the London-based Bonar claiming he had supplied prohibited drugs to more than 150 top-level athletes. 
&nbsp; 
Those claims, which were published by the newspaper in April, have now been investigated by UKAD, and the agency did eventually share its findings with the GMC. Bonar has since denied any wrongdoing. 
 
&quot;It is clear that opportunities to gather intelligence, secure evidence and investigate Bonar have been missed,&quot; Ward concluded.

A review set up by the agency has censured it for failing to pursue claims that a doctor supplied drugs to more than 150 athletes
