The International Cricket Council (ICC), which is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code, has prepared a roadmap to resolve the concerns between the BCCI and NADA, the national anti-doping organisation in India.
The ICC has shown the BCCI specific roadmap to the World Anti-Doing Agency (WADA). In turn, the BCCI has proposed to the NADA, its plan of action.
Almost a year ago, WADA had urged the ICC to find a solution to make the BCCI NADA-compliant.
A WADA spokesman told The Hindu : “As a result (the roadmap prepared by the ICC), the Independent Compliance Review Committee has agreed to defer further review of this issue until the success of that roadmap can be fully assessed. The WADA is in communication with the ICC.”
Asked about WADA’s line of action on Prithvi Shaw being given an eight-month ban, the spokesman said: “We have no comment to make at the moment. We will review the case, as we always do, and follow the usual process accordingly.”
The BCCI, through its CEO Rahul Johri and Anti-Doping Manager, Dr. Abhijeet Dalvi, are likely to meet sports ministry officials and explain their position.
