Abstract

ABSTRACT Use of drugs is prohibited in sports and the same is applicable in cricket also. Research into the science and medicine underlying cricket performance and injury has progressed since the First World Congress of Science and Medicine in Cricket in 1999. Dope testing in cricket was introduced in 2002 and is being done since then in major cricket events. The International Cricket Council (ICC) became signatory of World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in July 2006. The ICC Anti-Doping Code compliant with the WADA Code ensures cricket plays its part in the global fight against drugs in sport. The present paper elaborates about the testing protocol being adhered to for the testing of samples in cricket for both in competition and out of competition of samples.
