NEW DELHI (AP) — The World Anti-Doping Agency has given the International Cricket Council and its member countries a November 2011 deadline to comply with out-of-competition drug testing.
WADA director general David Howman says the ICC is responsible for its members. He says if the sport’s governing body fails to convince them then “we will declare them noncompliant in our report to the International Olympic Committee in November 2011.”
It would then be up to the IOC to take any action.
Howman said on Wednesday that the ICC has done a lot in the past three years but “now they just need to give the final push.”
India’s cricketers have reservations about the WADA rule that requires players to give details of their location three months in advance.
