The problem with WADA

Many South African officials are still wary of speaking on the issue, given that it involves the powerful IPL, but the belief that Steyn was shabbily treated is clearly widespread. "He took a common headache medicine - Myprodol - containing codeine, which is not a prohibited substance. In certain people codeine can cause a high concentration of morphine in the urine. Anyone who has laboratory experience in analysing this situation knows that a slightly higher presence of morphine than otherwise permitted is totally acceptable where there is also this level of codeine," one CSA official said.

One thing WADA should do is they should not give media fire to any drug test that are going to be done or are in progress.They should disclose only those result in which someone has come positive.

Vikas,

Problem is, the rules are so restrictive that sports persons risk carrying the tag of drug cheat for the smallest infractions inadvertent or otherwise.

Cheers,
