Drug tests a Doomsday scenario for India?
When India's own anti-doping agency sent out a circular asking all sporting bodies to fall in line, the BCCI didn't even bother to reply and its silence was taken as consent

When India's own anti-doping agency sent out a circular asking all sporting bodies to fall in line, the BCCI didn't even bother to reply and its silence was taken as consent. The feeling throughout the present anti-doping impasse has been that not one board official has even bothered to check out the WADA statutes or its website and the players' stand is merely an extension of the fact that they have the board's support, writes Dileep Premachandran in his blog on the Guardian website.
After what happened in Lahore in March, and previous terrorist threats to the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni, the players are petrified that revealing their future whereabouts to Wada will compromise their safety. Fair enough, you'd think, except for the fact that Wada's online process is as secure as most banking transactions. You, I or AN Ordinary won't be able to gatecrash Yuvraj Singh's next party.
