So whats happening in Pakistani cricket, lets see today Pakistani fast bowler Mohammad Asif has returned home after authorities in Dubai decided not to prosecute him for alleged drug offences.
Asif was detained at Dubai airport on suspicion of carrying illegal drugs as he travelled back to Pakistan from India on 1 June.
Dubai's public prosecutor, Mohammad al-Nuaimi, told the Gulf News Asif had been caught "red-handed" with 0.24 grams of opium.
But he added: "In certain cases and for a faster litigation process the public prosecution drops a case due to insignificance and deports the suspect."
The Pakistan Cricket Board statement said: "The drug tests conducted on Mohammad Asif during the investigations in Dubai were clear and negative for any contraband substance."
So what do you guys think we should be doing with Asif, he will surely be facing another ban by World Anti-Doping Authority (Not Again). Good thing this time there was no Shoaib Akhtar with him so he can not or we can not blame Shoaib for Asif’s misery. Asif is a big boy and it’s about time he took responsibility of his actions and apologize to the whole nation. How many of his fans are willing to forgive him this time around. I don’t know about myself , if I am ready to give him another chance. Should we, He is not a sixteen year old kid who needs to be disciplined. He is a mature adult who knows exactly what he is doing or does he? Well to finish of this article Asif is back in Pakistan and he has maintained that he was innocent. In his words “I did not use any banned substance. During the Indian Premier League, I underwent two doping tests, and cleared both of them," he said. "If I had been tested positive, the ICC would not have cleared me."
Having said that some people never learn !!!
