WHY INDIANS PLAYERS NOT GIVING WADA TO WADA

The current power tussle going between BCCI and ICC+WADA is getting bigger day by day. Can ICC beat BCCI using WADA as its bramastra.The recent appointment of WADA by ICC to follow the anti-doping laws prevalent in sports world now a days , is givin nightmares to players.

THE UNACCEPTABLE ISSUES

It requires players nominated by the sport's parent body to submit to random testing. These players have to inform ICC at the start of every three-month period of a location and time that they will be available for an hour each day for testing. A player needs to update the nodal officer on any changes in schedule either online or through SMS. If the player is not present at the specified location and time, a 'strike' will be recorded against his/her name. Three strikes would mean suspension for up to 2 years from the game.

THE INDIAN SIDE

BCCI AND INDIAN PLAYERS BELEIVE the clause with regard to whereabouts of cricketers is unreasonable for three reasons. First, some (Indian) cricketers have security cover, and when you have such cover, you cannot disclose your whereabouts to a third person. Second, the privacy of individuals cannot be invaded. Third, the Indian constitution guarantees every citizen his privacy .The indian players are not against the dope-test, even BCCI is saying that for random testing it can call players anytime told by WADA

THE HORRORS

1)The most likely thing on the cards is that BCCI has to comply to the norms.
2)The WADA has told the cricketers that they run the risk of being banned for at least a year and maximum of two if they stick to their stand and do not fill the 'whereabouts' form. Missing the deadline thrice in a span of 18 months means an automatic ban , and indian players had missed one deadline 31 july
3)Cricket can never be a part of olympic and asian games , untill and unless it all playing nations abide wada norms.
