BCCI bats for IDTM doctors in Nada

ccording to Salvi, all the IDTM doctors are MBBS. "We have requested that DCOs assigned for BCCI tests to be registered medical practitioners (MBBS) with knowledge of anti-doping. When IDTM used to collect samples, they would assign medical practitioners."Salvi and Saba Karim, BCCI's GM (cricket operations) recently met senior Nada officials, including director general Navin Agarwal, and discussed how to move ahead with the dope testing of the cricketers. "We have discussed everything threadbare. We have given the full fixtures for this season's domestic matches. The dates and venues also have been given. This will help Nada to prepare its cricket-testing calendar," he added. For the record, Nada had announced after the meeting it would be starting "the partnership from the Duleep Trophy." "The Duleep Trophy has already started and probably they will be coming for later matches. They haven't specified whether they are planning target testing or random testing. It is expected there will be a few tests done on match days (in-competition)," Salvi was quoted as saying by PTI.Nada's website says at present there are 111 empanelled contractual persons, including Lead Dope Control Officers (LDCOs), DCOs, blood collection officers (BCOs) and chaperones. On the list of 111, there are only 16 registered doctors - all designated as LDCOs. Out of those 16, there are 12 who are based out of Pune while four reside in Thiruvananthapuram.However, it remains to be seen whether Nada can always have qualified doctors as DCOs for all BCCI assignments.

Ex-Sudan President admits of getting USD 90 Million received from Saudi Royals

Bashir faces a raft of charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide from the International Criminal Court over his role in the Darfur war but Monday's trial is over graft allegations. Large amounts of cash were found at this residence after he was toppled and the investigator said the case brought forward to the court probed some of that money. "The accused told us that the money was part of a sum of USD 25 million sent to him by Prince Mohammed bin Salman to be used outside of the state budget," investigator Ahmed Ali said. According to him, Bashir had said he also received two previous payments of USD 35 million and USD 30 million from Saudi King Abdullah, who died in 2015. "This money was not part of the state budget and I was the one who authorised its spending," the investigator quoted Bashir as saying. Bashir had said the Saudi money was exchanged and spent and that he could not remember how nor did he have documents providing further details, he added. Sudan's ex-president Omar al-Bashir was charged with corruption-related offenses on Sunday as he appeared in public for the first time since he was overthrown in April. Bashir looked calm during the nearly three-hour session, which an AFP photographer and correspondent attended. The next hearing was scheduled for August 24. Darfur crimes In May, Sudan's prosecutor general also said Bashir had been charged over killings during the anti-regime protests which eventually led to his ouster. London-based rights watchdog Amnesty International has warned however that the corruption trial should not distract from his Darfur indictments. "While this trial is a positive step towards accountability for some of his alleged crimes, he remains wanted for heinous crimes committed against the Sudanese people," Amnesty said. Amnesty urged the country's new transitional institutions to ratify the ICC's Rome Statute, a move that would allow for his transfer to the international tribunal. The Hague-based ICC has for years demanded that Bashir stand trial, and has renewed its call since his fall. The head of Bashir's defence team, Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir, said in July that the ousted leader's trial had no "political background". "It is an absolute criminal case with a baseless accusation." It was the sudden tripling of bread prices in December that sparked the mushrooming protests which led to the toppling of Bashir by the army in April. Sovereign Council The trial comes as the composition of the joint civilian and military sovereign council that will steer the country of 40 million through a 39-month transition was due to be unveiled on Monday. The line-up had been expected to be announced on Sunday but it was delayed after one of the five nominees put forward by the opposition alliance representing protest leaders turned down the job. The Transitional Military Council which took over from Bashir and will be dissolved by the creation of the sovereign said the announcement had been delayed at the request of the opposition. The composition of the new body is now expected on Tuesday. The ruling sovereign council will be composed of 11 members including six civilians and five from the military. It will be headed by a general for the first 21 months and by a civilian for the remaining 18 months. The council will oversee the formation of a transitional civilian administration including a cabinet and a legislative body. The transition's key documents were signed on Saturday at a ceremony attended by a host of foreign dignitaries, signalling that Sudan could be on its way to shedding the pariah status the Darfur atrocities and Bashir's international arrest warrant had conferred on it. Amidst the euphoria celebrating the promise of civilian rule, unease was palpable however within the protest camp that brought about one of the most crucial changes in Sudan's modern history. One of its main causes is the omnipresence in the transition of General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, a paramilitary commander and one of the signatories of the documents, whose forces are blamed for the deadly repression of the protests. And it remains unclear how the transitional institutions will tackle the daunting task of pacifying a country plagued by several conflicts, including in the regions of Darfur, Kordofan and Blue Nile. ...

11-year-old trampled to death by elephant in Jharkhand's Gumla district

The elephant attacked the home from the side of the kitchen. The girl opened the door and tried to flee,' the DFO said, adding that since it was raining and there was no electricity in the village, she could not identify the location of the elephant and came in front of it. The elephant lifted her with its trunk and slammed her on the ground and trampled her to death, forest officials said. The villagers said Bhora Tirkey, Amrita's father, had heard the sound of the approaching elephant. 'As the elephant started pushing the wall from the kitchen side, Bhora opened the door for all family members in the house to flee. But while fleeing, Amrita reached near the elephant due to darkness,'a villager said. The villagers are living in panic, as the elephant moved towards the nearby forest. They fear that the jumbo might again raid the village on Sunday night. The forest department handed over Rs 20,000 to the victim's family. The remaining Rs 3.80 lakh will be credited in Bhora's account within two months, forest officials said.

Indian women start with 2-1 win over Japan in Olympic test event

Both the teams, playing with 16 players as per the Olympic Games guidelines, made swift and timely substitutions throughout the match, and it was in the 16th minute that Japan's substitution worked for them. The 29-year-old Mitsuhashi combined well with her teammates before drawing parity. With the majority of the attacks coming from the Indian team, the Japanese sat back and looked to attack on the counter. The teams have played each other frequently in the past couple of years, which showed on the field as they understood each other's tactics well, and it meant that the teams went into the half-time break level at 1-1. The third quarter saw India dominate the initial few minutes and winning themselves another penalty corner in the 35th minute. A moment of magic from Gurjit saw India regain their one-goal advantage as the 23-year-old smashed the ball into the back of the net. The hosts tried to look for another equaliser in the remaining minutes, but could not convert their opportunities into goals.
