-

NEW DELHI: The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) report of 2016 has revealed that one Indian cricketer has tested positive for banned substances among the 153 BCCI accreditat­ed cricketers. The cricketer, whose name has not yet been revealed, will be the second after former India U-19 player Pradeep Sangwan to have tested positive. Sangwan was playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in 2013, when he tested positive during that year's Indian Premier League. According to the 2016 Anti-Doping Testing Figures, 138 cricketers registered under BCCI were tested 'In Competitio­n' (IC) in which one cricketer has tested positive. It could be concluded that the cricketer in question has tested positive during a BCCI domestic event like Ranji Trophy, Duleep Trophy, IPL or Irani Trophy - as it has happened 'In Competitio­n'. It may or may not be an internatio­nal cricketer but it is for sure that it did not happen during an ICC event as normally the world cricket's governing body mandatoril­y sends a media release.
