BCCI feels the heat over anti-doping stand

The Indian cricket board (BCCI) is feeling the heat from the International Cricket Council (ICC) over its resistance to come under the umbrella of the National Anti-Doping Agency (Nada).

ICC is compliant with Wada while BCCI – while refusing compliance with Nada – has reiterated that the board is compliant with Wada as it is a full member of the ICC. The BCCI has also contested that it is not a national sports federation.

“Look, everybody is on the same page that dope testing of Indian cricketers has to be done (by Nada) and the whole issue has to be tackled properly. That’s the majority consensus,” the source added.
