WADA returns

WADA president John Fahey says the body will not make any exceptions for India.

“We’ve taken it up with the appropriate Indian authorities and made a request to see if the Indian government supports the stand taken by the BCCI,” John Fahey, the WADA president, said. “There has been some exchange of correspondence but we haven’t got anything conclusive. But when we do receive an official response from the Indian government, we are quite prepared to disclose that view in whatever form that takes.”

What wouldn’t I give for a peek at that letter. No, not the contents, the address. Just who is the ‘appropriate Indian authority in this case — Suresh Kalmadi and the Indian Olympic Association? What fun.
