Dope testing to be introduced in Champions Trophy
MOHALI, Sept 20: International Cricket Council (ICC) in collaboration with World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has decided to go in for dope tests of all players taking part in the ICC Champions Trophy, a senior Indian cricket official announced on Wednesday.
“The samples of any player can be taken at random,” Indian Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) President, Inderjit Singh Bindra told a press conference here on Wednesday.
Arrangements for collecting urine samples of players at random have been made at Fortis Hospital here. As there is no WADA accredited laboratory available in India to analyse samples, ICC would send these samples to Malaysia or any other nearest country for testing, Bindra added.
The Champions Trophy begins with a qualifying match between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on Oct 7 at the PCA Stadium.—Agencies
