BCCI rejects National Anti Doping Agency's demand to conduct tests on Indian cricketers

Quote

In a letter written on 8 November to NADA chief Navin Agarwal, BCCI CEO Rahul Johri made it clear that there is no requirement for NADA to tests its cricketers since the board is not a National Sports Federation (NSF) and its present anti-doping system is robust enough.

"It is relevant to mention here that BCCI is not a National Sports Federation. Accordingly, NADA does not have jurisdiction to conduct dope testing of Indian cricketers in any domestic or international event organised or under the aegis of BCCI," Johri wrote in the letter.

"In light of the aforesaid, there is no requirement for any BCCI official to coordinate with NADA for dope testing of Indian cricketers either during competitions or out of completions."

Once again BCCI is wasting time. I can see if you play IPL you can get away but tests I dont think so.

BCCI has their own dope test policy. Mohd Asif was caught in one of the early IPLs. Pradeep Sangwan too 3 years back.

Bcci follows ICC rules and those rules dont require bcci to submit to WADA.

If true then technically you are correct. Can you verify that ICC is not compliant under WADA.

Is it a standardaized policy which is recognized?

There is more to it. Did ICC not make an exception for BCCI. If true BCCI is strictly speaking non compliant.
