| Junior Member | The are 1000's of players who abide by rules of WADA. then Why the heck indian cricket team got a problem with WADA. Cricket is a religion here.. players like sachin are considered god here. but why such a legendary player like him opposing rules of WADA?. I cant believe that indian team isnt properly educated by BCCI about the rules of WADA. They are just making excuses to avoid getting tested for drugs that i think most of them take. Those could be performance enhancing drugs or some other drugs to avoid injuries. I am a big fan of indian cricket... but i now started feeling that Indian cricket team is just a bunch of dopers.. who are just trying to bypass the world code of sports. //*** Rest of the content edited for inappropriate language *** You are in breach of forum rules and policies.

Rep Power: 5 | My views are illogical & irrational. So you don't need to hear it. I am irrational. No prove of that till now. As I can't recall an Indian player who have been caught for doping. Last edited by Luke Skywalker; 08-06-09 at 07:20 PM. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |

Rep Power: 10 | I don't think the Indian athletes are doping, If they are doping we will see some performance out of them. you don't need dope for utter mediocrity. -F |

Rep Power: 10 | I don't think dope can make much of difference in the way cricket as a game is played... Cricket is more about skills than stamina... Infact, they should allow dope for cricketers cuz the amount of cricket they play nowadays is too high... Maybe then, players like flintoff will reconsider their retirements from test cricket... |

Rep Power: 1 | it's ones right to privacy. if someone does not want to disclose anything then it is his personal wish. cricketers can give details during their tour but they are not ready to give during their free time. some alternate solution has to brought to this. |

Rep Power: 5 | What 'bout other professions? High ranking officials also have to disclosed their location when they go on holiday. It don't violate their privacy as they are not intruded but they can be called for urgent purpose. Doping is urgent purpose. |

if the take dope and performance enhancing drugs that is OK, you are saying they should not take this only when they are touring but rest of the time it is OK. Doesn't make sense man. -F | |

| Junior Member | That is the price a world class player needs to pay, if he really wants to play.. Come on man.. world's most respected players from various sports follow wada rules.. what the heck is wrong with indian players? Leave other sports .. Australian's, Engishmen, West Indies, Sri Lanka and even pakistani cricket players dont have a problem with wada.. then what the heck is wrong with our players. I guess most of them use drugs (Parties) when they are off the ground so they dont wanted to get tested positive. lolz |

I agree that every game is a combination of the above mentioned things. But Cricket is a different game altogether. It's a misconception that you do not have to be very fit to play cricket. Fast bowlers, batsmen running between the wickets, and fielders chasing a ball have to be able to move suddenly, extremely quickly, and powerfully for brief amounts of time. This pattern of inactivity followed by dynamic movement carries a high risk of injury. Fast bowlers are particularly vulnerable if they are unfit or if their running and bowling technique is poor. Injuries of the shoulders, back, knees, and ankles are common. The risk of injury can be reduced if players are in good physical condition; if they warm up and perform stretching exercises before playing; and if they keep mobile during periods of relative inactivity. No other game goes on for 5 long days (Test matches) or even 1 whole day (ODIs). So, it's natural that the players are on high risk of injury throughout the longer playing time. That's why I don't mind if Cricketers take medical drugs to keep themselves fit, reduce their rehabilitation time after an injury and lengthen their career. It's a pity that players of Flintoff's class are avoiding to play Test cricket so early because their body can't take the endurance anymore. | |

We need natural and healthy competition between the players and that can only be achieved if we eliminate drugs from sports. Btw i respect flintoff for his timely out. Every player has a limit no one can play till there 50's. Indian players just dont want to quit coz its money maker sport!! | |

Rep Power: 10 | I'm not actually endorsing drug abuse in cricket. Infact, I'm quite happy with the current system of ICC, which randomly collects sample from players and punish or fine them if they are found guilty. Remember Shane Warne? Hez not the only example, there are many... I don't want WADA in Cricket as it equates the game with other sports... When it's not! I've already explained why, in the previous post. Flintoff was out of Cricket field for 2 years in last four years. I'm sure he must have taken some drugs to reduce the rehabilitation time. If WADA would have been in the picture, he could have spent more time off the field than he actually did. Flintoff is just an example. Regarding Indian players point you raised, that's a completely different topic. |
