Union Minister Babul Supriyo today cautioned athletes about the ills of taking performance enhancing drugs and asked them to rely on milk and dry fruits instead.
Addressing body builders participating in Delhi BJP's 'Khel Delhi Khel' tournament he cautioned them about the ill-effects of performance enhancing drugs, and said, "I urge you not to promote these substances and instead take Indian products like milk, pistachio and almonds."
"You may have bad intentions and use hydroxycuts, metabolites and Guarana seeds but you will be caught if you did so in international competitions," Supriyo said.
He also played Kabaddi at the tournament.
