Richard Ings was the head of the Australian Sports Drug Agency, and then the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority from 2005 – 2010.
In this interview, he talks to us about Drugs in Cricket.
Is it a problem?
Here are WADA’s own numbers, highlighting how many cricketers were tested in 2012.
Not one was blood tested ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!!
What techniques are players using to hide the impacts?
Why would cricketers even need to use performance enhancing drugs?
How do the Cricket Australia rules on doping differ from the rest of the world?
We also talk about the mankad, Narine’s choice to play the IPL final over representing the West Indies in a Test series, Cat delivers a beautifully scripted monologue that is critical of the English Test squad and more.
Finally, the Muller Award is handed to someone who probably should have won it a long time ago
