The Union government has proposed fresh amendments to the National Anti Doping Act to criminalise the trafficking and distribution of banned substances to athletes, with a jail term of up to five years and a fine of up to Rs 2 lakh for offenders, including medical practitioners who knowingly prescribe prohibited drugs.The proposed amendments have been uploaded on the sports ministry’s website for public feedback, with June 18 set as the deadline for suggestions.Sports minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the amended bill will be tabled during the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament after feedback is reviewed.“Whoever administers or applies to an athlete, for the purpose of or in connection with doping in sport…shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to (five) years, or with fine which may extend up to (two lakh) rupees, or both,” the proposed amendment states.The amendments seek stricter action against people involved in supplying banned substances to athletes. The ministry plans to introduce the amended bill in Parliament after examining public suggestions.Under the current law, the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) can search premises and seize “equipment, device, substance, record, register, document or other material object” if there is suspicion of anti-doping violations.The proposed amendment expands these powers to include individuals as well.“The officer shall, if the individual so requires, take such individual within twenty four hours to the nearest Gazetted Officer, superior in rank to him, or a Magistrate. Provided that the officer shall not detain such individual for more than twenty four hours prior to taking him to such Gazetted Officer or Magistrate,” the amendment states.“For the purposes of this section, the expression ‘public place’ includes any public conveyance, hotel, shop, competition, event or other place intended for use by, or accessible to, the public.”

Doctors, coaches could face jail

“Doping is no longer just a sporting violation; it has evolved into an organised ecosystem exploiting athletes,” Mandaviya said during an interaction with the media in New Delhi, as quoted by news agency PTI.“We only punish those who are consuming but suppliers need to be targetted as well. So whether it is a coach, a manager, a fellow athlete or anyone who has direct access to an athlete, those found guilty of being part of the supply chain will be prosecuted if these amendments go through,” he added.A similar proposal had been made in 2018, when the government had sought a four-year jail term and a Rs 2 lakh fine for organised crime syndicates and suppliers of banned substances. However, those provisions were removed before the law was passed in 2022 and amended last year, as the government preferred a “preventive legislation, rather than a criminal legislation.”The new proposal also targets those who prescribe banned substances to athletes.“Whoever, for the purpose of or in connection with doping in sport, traffics in, sells, dispenses or otherwise places on the market without trafficking, or makes out a prescription for, any prohibited substance or prohibited method, shall be punishable with imprisonment for a term which may extend to [five] years, or with fine which may extend up to [two lakh] rupees, or both,” the amendment states.The amendments provide exemptions for athletes with Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for certified medical conditions and for doctors handling emergency situations.“In situations referred to under this sub-section, it shall be the responsibility of the athlete to apply for a retroactive Therapeutic Use Exemption in accordance with the provisions of this Act and regulations thereunder,” the amendment states.“There shall be no liability for the relevant medical practitioner, regardless of whether the Therapeutic Use Exemption is granted or declined,” it added.The ministry clarified that rules related to anti-doping violations by athletes will remain unchanged.“Anti-Doping Rule violations by athletes will continue to be dealt with under the existing anti-doping framework,” the ministry stated.“The proposed amendments seek to ensure that clean athletes remain protected while enabling stronger action against criminal networks exploiting sport and athletes for commercial gain.”

Secret of the Spring is one of the many side quests in Diablo 4 that requires players to solve a puzzle or riddle. For this reason, some players might think that it’s bugged, or uncompletable. Thankfully, that isn’t the case at all. You just need to know the correct emote to use, at the right location. These quests were introduced in the game to help players learn to use the emote wheel, and customize it for their purposes.

If you’re going for a completionist run in Diablo 4, Secret of the Spring is a side quest worth going out of your way to complete. It’s short, sweet, and might teach you something, if you’re relatively new to the game.

How to complete Secret of the Spring in Diablo 4

Secret of the Spring is not one of the more complex side quests in Diablo 4, but it can feel frustrating if you just look at the quest hint. The game doesn’t tell you what to do, only leads you to a specific location, and offers you the hint of “Solve the note’s riddle” and that’s it. You can find this side quest just outside of Kyovashad, shown on the map below.

When you arrive, you’ll find a crumpled note on the ground with a blue exclamation mark over it. Interacting with it will give you the quest Secret of the Spring. It will also give you the only other hint you need to complete the quest:

“Beacon of warmth in winter’s embrace, patience rewarded by nature’s own grace.”

Reading the hint will also give you a quest location on your map, a blue circle. Just ride up to this area, and you’ll see a tiny lake in the ground. Like other side quests, and Riddle Statues, you need to use the correct emote in front of the lake.

To complete Secret of the Spring in Diablo 4, use the “wait” emote, while standing in front of the little lake. However, the wait emote isn’t on your emote wheel by default, so you need to add it to the emote wheel somewhere.

Press the “E” key or up on the D-Pad, and then, and then either click Customize or press the Triangle/Y button to bring up the customize menu. Pick one of the empty slots in the emote wheel, and look for wait in the first tab of emotes.

Add it to the bar, and then use it while standing in front of the lake. This will make a treasure chest pop up nearby. Loot the chest for a little bit of gold and other rewards, and this will complete Secret of the Spring.
