Cricketeers also need to be tested for Drugs and Performance enhancing Drugs

Well here is another enigma. The BCCI says that the Dope test for cricketeers is 'acceptable'. Fine that is what international dope tests require. But here we have the rider-as our highly paid cricket players have reservations about it. What reservation? well they want no testing when they are not playing.
Sounds absurd as the world all over has accepted this. But our pampererd cricket players will have none of it.The BCCI also comes out in support of these maverick players.
Well it must be understood that playing a professional sport is a full time job and rest periods are really the training periods. So pray why do our cricketeers want no testing at that time. Could look sinster. Its time the board cracked the whip-more the ICC and ask these players to fall in line.Surely people who make more than a crore evry year owe this to the vast Indian cricket loving public. Any take on this ?
Coming down to testing for drugs, I think the entire thing has gone in cold stoareg and I am not aware that any dope tests are carroed out on cricketers. So they have fun and earn money, !!
