The workshop was conducted by Dr Vece Paes, a former hockey international, Dr Kinjal Suratwala and Indian team's physio Dr Nitin Patel.
The participants were briefed on the various points about the Anti Doping code and were given copies of hand books provided by the National Anti Doping Agency to the Board, said BCCI secretary N Srinivasan in a media release.
The Board will organise such seminars for every association for the benefit of the support staff as well as players in each of their teams during the course of the next two to three months, he added.
India's top cricketers had refused to sign the 'whereabouts' clause of WADA's anti-doping code, claiming that it infringed on their privacy and compromised their security.
The International Cricket Council then formed a special panel, which included former captain Anil Kumble and Srinivasan, to resolve the vexed issue. The panel will have its first meeting on September 6 and 7.
