Introduction
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (“BCCI”) has newly been defied by the resurgence of a problem concerning the National Anti-Doping Agency (“NADA”) and whether, like different Indian sports organizations, it should present itself to the power of NADA – by way of an agreement with anti-doping rules and testing methods, which completely mirror those set out by the World Anti-Doping Agency (“WADA”).
As things are, the BCCI is not NADA-obedient, as its self-power, what it considers to be a well understandable and effective doping control program. Additionally, the BCCI explains that because it is not listed as a ‘National Sports Federation’ by the Government of India (reasons discussed below), it must not fall in the range of NADA’s discretion.
Furthermore, the site rule, challenging players to present data about their spot daily (and discussed in further detail below), has always been a bone of competition for the BCCI, summoning privacy matters. As such, agreeing to NADA’s jurisdiction would mean, among other matters, an unspoken acceptance of the WADA/NADA spots principle.
This article attempts to explain the benefits behind the BCCI’s request for a jurisdictional license, particularly by considering the following issues:
- Should the BCCI come outside NADA’s jurisdiction merely because it is not (technically) assigned as a ‘National Sports Federation’ (“NSF”) by the Government of India (hereinafter referred to as the “Government” or “GOI”)?
- Are the ‘whereabouts’ rule invasive and a breach of the ‘right to privacy’?
- National Sports Federation: a mere technicality?
