FIFA_WADA_BCCI : What is the difference

[Sachinism]

BCCI had the balls to stand up to them and others are now growing a pair. Most of these idiots who knock BCCI are pure haters and can't stand how powerful the board is

See BCCI stood up because BCCI did not have anything to lose and rightly they stood up against it. Remember most spomrts are part of Olympics and if these guys dont sign that team cannot take part in Olympics. People often complain how Tiger Woods and Serena Williams have signed these clauses. Well Tiger Woods has no F'ing choice -- cuz PGA signed the deal and if he has to make money he to sign it or remain a beggar -- so unfortunately he had to sign the deal -- that is by no means an endorsement of the WADA rules by Tiger Woods, more Tiger Woods doesnt live in a country where he is threatened by terrorists in a neighboring country and if that were the case I am sure USA and Tiger Woods will take enough precautions and measures to ensure that nothing happends to Woods unlike SRT who lives in India which cannot provide such gurantees.

They made compromise in April. I think the BCCI stand kinda aggravated things bit and UEFA said no to even the compromise. Here is the latest. http://www.worldfootballinsider.com/Story.aspx?id=32555 Football continues to be hurdle for WADA FIFA and UEFA are continuing to defy attempts by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) to introduce controversial new out-of-competition tests. Both organizations are rejecting WADA’s “whereabouts†testing provision which requires athletes across all sports to provide drug testers with three months notice of where they will be for one hour, each day of the year. The “whereabouts†rule in the new WADA WADA president John Fahey is refusing to change the out-of-competition ruling for football (Getty Images) Code came into effect on Jan. 1, but FIFA and UEFA have called on WADA to make changes. They say there are “fundamental differences†between individual and team athletes, insisting athletes in the latter group were “easy to locate†by virtue of the fact they trained as a team up to six days a week. The stance by two of football’s key stakeholders is placing pressure on WADA, which is determined to get football to sign up to its new anti-doping code, claiming the out-of-competition testing is an essential component of its fight against drugs in sport. A joint statement issued after UEFA’s Executive Committee meeting last week called on WADA to reconsider “in a spirit of collaboration in the fight against doping.†UEFA wants special exemption for players during their off-season – typically running from mid-May to the end of June. According to the statement, both bodies “do not accept that controls be undertaken during the short holiday period of players, in order to respect their private life.†The statement came just several days after FIFA president Sepp Blatter insisted the strict new rules should not apply to football, which he said had joined the international governing bodies of other team sports – including basketball, volleyball and ice hokey – to repeat the call for WADA to clarify the rules. FIFA and UEFA did make one concession – accepting that individual players should face the same rules as track and field athletes if they were injured, serving a suspension or not taking part in the daily life of a club. WADA president John Fahey has steadfastly refused to make changes to the new WADA code and he has been unable to placate the influential voice of football as the main critic of the new measures. More than 25,000 doping controls are carried out in world football each year; an average of 10 players tested positive each year between 2004 and 2008.
