It might be by default, but India could still win World Cup 2003. Australian pace bowler Brett Lee and wicket-keeper Adam Gilchrist have tested drug-positive following random tests conducted by the ICC.
According to Lee, ‘‘These are serious charges and I would not like to say anything till I am convinced about the authenticity of the findings.’’ Going by the ASDA rule book, the players have 24 hours to appeal to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. At the same time, the ACB is open to forfeiting Australia’s right to the World Cup if the ICC demands such a step.
‘‘We don’t want the world to say that Australia cheats to win,’’ says ACB chairman Dick Pound. While Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly could not be contacted for comment, there is reason to believe that the dream of his team —and that of a billion Indians — could still be fulfilled.
