I think the problem is that WADA came out of IOC, so it's natural that they think standard needed for cycling, athletics, and swimming should be universal standard for other sports too (though that still does not justify why they should be allowed to breach privacy of any sports person).

Team sports such as football, cricket, and rugby should form their own anti-doping agency (unless WADA agrees to be flexible to be accommodate need for those sports). They can prolly also include other skill based sports such as tennis.
