New Delhi: The second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL), is currently underway in the UAE, has not seen cricket participating in the tournament tested for drugs.
The tone, mandated to implement a doping control program in sports in this country – has not sent drug control officers (DCO) to the Gulf State after BCCI and a failed tone to achieve an understanding of the collection of cricketers during the tournament.
One DCOS has returned positive for Covid-19 during the IPL Indian leg in April, even though it becomes part of a strict bio-bubble tournament setting.
That, it seems, has made BCCI skeptics.
Prior to the initial 14th edition on April 9, the tone has decided to establish three Dope (DCS) control stations in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai.
With Chennai holding a tournament opening match, the tone has entered the DCOS in Bio-Bubble managed by BCCI in the city to carry out the testing of the out-of-competition of Cricketers, especially focusing on the best players.
However, testing was stopped after DCO tested the positive covid.
Until then, only a few samples were collected by the tone.
Then, the tournament was suddenly suspended.
After the start of the EU leg, the parties – BCCI and tones – could not reach consensus on how to restart the collection of samples.
Also, BCCI seems hesitant to allow DCOS to enter a strict bio-bubble environment for franchises and officials.
