IANS: Canberra, Deccan Chronicle, Former India captain Rahul Dravid feels that lie detector tests could help innocent players clear their names of graft charges. Dravid joins Australian legend Steve Waugh in calling for the introduction of lie detector tests in the fight against corruption in world cricket. Both Dravid and Waugh are members of the World Cricket Committee of the Marylebone Cricket Club. "Even if it means giving up a little bit of freedom of movement and privacy, if it means undergoing dope tests, let us never say no," Dravid said in his Bradman Oration at the Australian War Memorial here Wednesday night. "If it means undergoing lie-detector tests, let us understand the technology, what purpose it serves and accept it. Now lie detectors are by no means perfect but they could actually help the innocent clear their names. Similarly, we should not object to having our finances scrutinised if that is what is required," he said. Dravid said players must take pride in belonging to a sport that is professional and progressive. Read Full: Polygraph tests can clean cricket: Rahul Dravid | Deccan Chronicle, Image: flickr.com
