Asif and Shoaib to appeal / Decision tomorrow, 5 December 2006

Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal

Yes, shoaib should not have said that, but then again you can't really blame him completely for coming up with stupid arguments to save his behind. He was trying to come up with anything to prove his innocence.

Intikhab on the other hand, should have kept his mouth shut. Considering that he was holding a very important and sensitive job, he should have performed it gracefully.

I don't know how much we can blame Shoaib on weakening his case during the initial part of doping crisis, but PCB definitely can blame Intikhab, if Shoaib gets reprieve.

Intikhab should not have tried linking shoaib off the field behavior with high drug levels. Shoaib's life style has been like that since the beginning, but has he ever been tested positive before?? No, infact he was tested negative twice during the last 2 years. This is contrary to Alam's theory of doping, chilling & partying.
