Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju said, on Monday, that bringing the BCCI under the ambit of NADA was the only logical course of action as he considered all sports to have equal standing. However, one major implication is the pressure on the BCCI to now fall under the government’s RTI Act.

BCCI CEO Rahul Johri penned a letter to director general and CEO of NADA asking for clarification regarding their tussle between them and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The international body said it has suspended NADA due to non-conformities with the International Standard for Laboratories.

BCCI have reportedly agreed with CoA to work on a six-month trial with the National Anti Doping Agency (NADA) after the International Cricket Council’s repeated insistence. With Sourav Ganguly leaving CAC to take up mentor’s role in Delhi Capitals’ camp, CoA could ask Justice DK Jain for the role.
