Code of controversy

The Controversial Ruling
The new Wada code requires players to inform the ICC three months in advance a location and time that they will be available each day (between 6 am and 11 pm) in that quarter for testing. If the player is not in the location at the time specified, he/she will have a strike recorded against his/her name.
Three such strikes and the player will have breached the code and can face penalties up to a two-year ban.Basically, any sportsperson missing three doping tests in 18 months faces a two-year sanction.
What It Means
The 11 Indian players, who are supposed to sign the WADA form by August 1, are all set to miss the deadline. Since the ICC has signed up with WADA on this clause, it could result in India being barred from all ICC competitions in future.
THE BCCI vs ICC TESTS
2001: Denness 'The Menace'
Upset by match referee Mike Denness' decisions during India's tour of South Africa, BCCI argued Denness had showed bias in slapping various charges on six Indian players. ICC responded by stripping the third Test of official status. The game, though, was played in defiance of ICC.
2003: Contract Killing
BCCI sought non-binding mediation in South Africa ahead of the World Cup as per the Participating Nations Agreement (PNA) after its negotiations with ICC to extract conce-ssions on the player terms failed. The Indian players needed to sign the terms to make them eligible to play. A compromise formula was worked out.
2008: Monkeygate
A verbal duel between Harbhajan and Symonds during the Sydney Test snowballed into a big row with the Aussie saying he was called 'monkey'. Harbhajan was handed a a two-Test ban and the Indians threatened to curtail the tour. Indians got their way when umpire Bucknor was axed from the series.
