wada 'whereabout' clause: a solution... err suggestion...

why not install a gps chip in all players body...?

which will not only indicate desired players present location...but can also be programmed to send his drug level status data at specified time interval...

this will make process not only simple but swift as well...

i think players can bear this least...small price for playing sport...

what's next wada...?

from 'out of competition' testing...wada is obviously going to follow it up with 'any time testing'...

they are going to build 'wada cells'...where players will be locked after the game...and during off season...for any time dope testing...

players will be released from cell only when they will announce retirement...from all forms of the game...that is...

this will be just the small price players will have to pay...for playing the sports they love...

WADA tera vaada...

In the end we are human and we do not have to feel like criminals just because we do sport.

this is what rafael nadal said in response to wada's latest rule which says that all sports persons must tell where they will be for one hour each day...for next three months...so that they can be subjected to out of competition testing...if needed...

and we agree with nadal...wholeheartedly...

just bcoz some players do drugs and cheat...they have no business to treat each player as criminal in the line of 'you are guilty till proven innocent'...leave alone the calls on right to privacy...and all this coz they play the game they love...?

whats more if the player is not at the location at the time specified he will have a 'strike' recorded against his name...and three such 'strikes'...the player could face a two year suspension from the game...

no wonder players are upset...specially indian players who have set their mobile ring-tones to kishore kumar's old classic song...in protest...

*WADA tera vaada... vaade pay tere maara gaya... banda main seedha saada... WADA tera vaada...

jokes apart...in order to curb the menace wada has definitely over stepped the front foot crease this time...and if they think the players are unnecessarily raising doubts...why not they follow the same rule they are imposing on players...?

the debate, humor, rants...
all you want to know about wada

so to end this the impasse...we suggest that wada should make it more transparent and instruct his drug testing officials to fill the same form and declare their whereabouts for one hour each day for next three months so that player can approach nearest official based on the location for 'out of competition testing'...if needed that is...

...and if the official is not present at the specified location on three counts he too should face similar two year suspension from the job...

may be then you can bring players to sing...

yeh WADA raha...

*wada in hindi means promise...
