New Delhi, August 03: MS Gill has come out in support of the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) anti doping code, saying that all sports bodies will have to adopt it.
The controversial whereabouts clause in the WADA anti-doping code has resulted in protests from the Indian cricket players as well as the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India), over the past few days, who have termed it as unjust and infringement on the players’ right to privacy.
Talking to reporters during a Conference of State Ministers of Youth Affairs and Sports, Gill said that the code does not amount to a violation of players’ right to privacy and that the players should co-operate with the governing body..
“World Anti-Doping Agency’s ‘whereabout’ clause is not infringement on players’ privacy,” Gill said.
“All sportspersons should cooperate with World Anti-Doping Agency,” he added.
