Mumbai, Aug 2 (PTI) Strongly backing its players, the BCCI today rejected a controversial WADA anti-doping clause which makes it mandatory for cricketers to be available for out of competition testing, raising the possibility of a fresh stand-off with the ICC.
The BCCI said it has no problem with players being tested as part of the WADA Code but it fully shares their concerns on the 'Whereabouts Clause', which requires them to furnish information about their location three months in advance for out of competition tests.
The decision to back the players was taken at an emergency meeting of the Working Committee which deliberated at length on the issue and wanted the ICC to re-negotiate the code with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh were present in the meeting.
