Pakistan fast bowler feels unfairly treated for testing positive
Mohammad Asif, Pakistan fast bowler, has claimed that his case of positive steroid testing was unfairly treated.
The Courier Mail quoted Asif, ““I had a very strong case, but they didn’t actually listen. Nobody was with me, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was on the back foot. I was just alone and had to handle the whole thing. I will tell everything when the time comes. It’s not the right time … It was a very difficult time for me,”
From Dawn.com:
He vowed to “tell everything” about his drug dramas. Banned for a year for testing positive to steroid nandrolone during the inaugural Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, Asif has only just returned to Test cricket.
The lanky paceman began his Test career against Australia at Sydney in January 2005. Before returning to the Test fold against New Zealand last month after playing against South Africa at Lahore in October 2007, Asif had claimed 51 wickets in 11 Tests.
People and sporting stalwarts knowing Asif are of the view that this pace bowler can be a real menace for the Australian batsmen when Pakistan meets Australia in an upcoming series.
Asif vowed that he is at his peak fitness level and would trouble the Oz batsmen with his sheer pace and variations.
