BCCI president Anurag Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke will meet the Lodha Committee members on August 9 in Delhi. It is understood that the meeting was requested by the BCCI, which finds itself in a spot after the Supreme Court accepted most of the recommendations made by the Lodha Committee, which suggested wholesale changes to the governance structure of the board and the state associations.Since the court pronounced the judgement on Monday, the BCCI is yet to formally make any public announcement about how it intends to deal with the transition. The two-judge bench of the court, comprising Chief Justice of India TS Thakur and Justice Ibrahim Kaliffula, whose last day in office was Friday, had asked the BCCI and the states to put in the new measures within six months, under the supervision of the Lodha Committee.The state associations are confused and have been looking to the BCCI for direction. The BCCI, in turn, is waiting to hear from its legal committee, which, it is learned, is likely to meet next week to discuss the court order.The Lodha Committee already set the ball rolling and asked the BCCI to tell the states to stall their scheduled elections till further notice. Failing to adhere to the instructions, the committee has made it clear, will only make the election results null and void.Post the court order on July 18, only Jammu & Kashmir Cricket Association decided to hold its elections and even elected a serving minister in the state government as its president. The Lodha Committee had made it clear that no serving minister could serve as an administrator. It only means the election of Imran Raza Ansari as JKCA president stands disqualified.That the Lodha Committee had already started wielding its power was evident when both Cricket Association of Bengal and the Karnataka State Cricket Association postponed their scheduled elections, after they were put on hold. The CAB polls were supposed to take place on July 31 while KSCAs were scheduled for August 7.KSCA secretary Brijesh Patel said the decision to defer the elections was taken once the communique from Lodha Committee arrived. We had an emergent managing committee meeting and have unanimously decided to postpone the elections as per the directions of the Supreme Court. They will tells us about the constitution of the [managing] committee as per the Lodha recommendations.Patel also said he was seeking more clarity from the BCCI on the composition of the managing committee and how the recommendations would be implemented. Let them come out with, if there will be a president, three vice-presidents, or one vice-president or will there be an apex council. There is no clarity on that. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- IOC president Thomas Bach defended the decision not to ban Russias entire team from the Rio Games, declaring Sunday that the doping crisis wont damage the Olympic bodys credibility and taking a swipe at global anti-doping officials for failing to act sooner against state-sponsored cheating in Russia.Speaking at a news conference five days before the opening of the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Bach said a total ban on Russia for systematic doping would not be justifiable on either moral or legal grounds.Every human being is entitled to certain rights of natural justice, said Bach, who also denied suggestions he had bowed to pressure from the Russian government to reject calls by anti-doping authorities for a complete ban.Bach was peppered with questions about the International Olympic Committees handling of the Russian scandal, including the decision to give international sports federations the authority to decide which Russian athletes should be cleared to compete in Rio.Asked whether the ruling represented a failure by the IOC, Bach said: No. This is for very obvious reasons.Bach said the IOC had set a very high bar by imposing strict conditions on the entry of Russians, including a ban on any athletes with prior doping sanctions.More than 100 Russian athletes -- including the track and field team -- have been excluded, with more than 250 declared eligible by the international sports federations.With the Games opening Friday, it remains uncertain exactly how many Russians will be competing. Some have filed appeals against their bans.I dont think that this in the end will be damaging because people will realize we have to take this decision now, Bach said. Imagine if we had not taken a decision, what limbo we would be in then.The IOC on Saturday set up a review panel consisting of three executive board members who will have the final say on which Russians are let into the Games, based on advice from an independent expert appointed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Pressure for a complete ban followed a World Anti-Doping Agency report by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing a vast doping conspiracy involving the countrys summer and winter sports athletes.Despite the backlash against the IOC decision, Bach said the committee had broad support across the Olympic movement, including from national Olympic committees and sports federations.Of course the negative opinions are most likely to be quoted, he said.Bach took a shot at WADA, which was set up by the IOC in 1999, for not having acted earlier on whiistleblower evidence of widespread doping in Russia.dddddddddddd He also questioned why WADA had accredited the Moscow and Sochi doping labs at the center of the scandal.The IOC is not responsible for the timing of the McLaren report, Bach said. The IOC is not responsible for the fact that different information which was offered to WADA already a couple of years ago was not followed up. The IOC is not responsible for the accreditation or supervision of anti-doping laboratories.Therefore, the IOC cannot be made responsible, neither for the timing nor for the reasons of these incidents we have to face now ... just a couple of days before the Olympic Games.Bach said the IOC wants to shed full light on all the allegations in McLarens report, including evidence that Russian officials replaced tainted urine samples with clean ones during the 2104 Winter Games in Sochi.McLarens investigation has been extended so he can identify athletes and others involved in state-backed doping and cover-ups. Once McLaren finishes his work, then we will take all the further necessary sanctions, Bach said.The evidence published so far by McLaren was shocking, Bach said.If this system was applied like this, its an attack on everything we want to represent, he said. Its an attack on the Olympic Games and its an attack on our values.But Bach reiterated his position that it would be wrong to collectively sanction all Russian athletes because it would punish some who had no links to doping.How far can you go to punish an individual for the failures or manipulations of your government? he said. Is it possible to take an athlete and say, Because your government has done something wrong, you automatically are out? This would not be justifiable, neither on a moral ground, not to speak on a legal ground.Bach defended the decision to reject a bid by 800-meter runner Yulia Stepanova, a former doper and whistleblower who helped expose the extent of cheating in Russia, to compete in Rio as a neutral athlete, as proposed by the IAAF.It was not easy, he said. The executive board made it really clear that it appreciates the contribution of Yulia Stepanova in the fight against doping. We offered assistance and support which no other organization has so far offered.Bach said the IOC had targeted 2,200 athletes in pre-Olympic tests ahead of Rio, and that 4,500 urine tests and 1,000 blood controls would be conducted during the games, similar to the figure in London four years ago.
