Indian cricket board will wait and watch on NADA issue

The BCCI yesterday decided to employ "wait and watch" policy with regards to coming under National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA)'s umbrella after its top brass met in Kolkata.

The meeting was attended by acting president CK Khanna, acting secretary Amitabh Chaudhary and treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhry. CEO Rahul Johri was present as the representative of Vinod Rai-led Committee of Administrators (COA). NADA has long wanted the BCCI to come under its ambit but country's richest sports body has thwarted its attempt because it doesn't come under the ambit of National Sports Federations (NSFs).

"The CEO updated us on BCCI's current stand on anti-doping policy with NADA and ICC. However, no decision has been taken as of now. We've had some amount of discussions on this topic, but we are going to have a few more meetings before we can arrive at a conclusion," acting president CK Khanna said.
