Prohibition of Prithvi Shaw: BCCI anti-doping officer clarifies details

The Cricket Control Board of India (BCCI) banned cricket player Prithvi Shaw for eight months after his positive test for the banned substance Terbutaline. Shaw immediately issued a statement that its ban should serve as a revelation to other athletes and that everyone should follow the protocol and consult the authorities before consuming any type of medication. In an exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times, Dr. Abhijit Salvi, BCCI's anti-doping officer, outlined the details of Prithvi Shaw's case and the need for WADA to rethink its policies and make the list of banned substances more specific to sport.
