Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
Shoaib, Asif unlikely to get mercy
KARACHI: Banned Pakistan fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Muhammad Asif are unlikely to get lenient consideration when the disgraced pace duo will once again voice pleas against their bans on Tuesday (today) as the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) will be having a close look into their cases.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have formed three-member appeal committee, headed by Justice Fakhruddin G Ebrahim, which will be holding its first meeting at Lahore to hear the appeals of Shoaib and Asif.
A PCB source said that WADA was keeping a close watch on the cases of Shoaib and Asif who were banned for two and one years respectively for testing positive for banned steroid nandrolone in internal tests conducted in September.
He added that intense scrutiny by WADA might thwart any attempt to reduce the ban on Shoaib and Asif. “There is definite pressure on us in the sense that the WADA officials are keeping abreast of everything that is happening and what we have done so far,” PCB source said. “I don’t think they are any chances of the bans being completely removed. They might be reduced but again we are being monitored by WADA,” he added.

Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
Drugs ban appeal delayed until November 20
The anti-doping appeals committee hearing the cases of Mohammad Asif and Shoaib Akhtar has adjourned until next Monday after a preliminary hearing at the National Cricket Academy at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium.
The delay came about as Abid Minto, the lawyer representing Shoaib, asked the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to produce certain documents without which he was unable to proceed. Aftab Gul, the former Test cricketer, is representing Asif.
The three-man committee, headed by retired Justice Fakhruddin Ebrahim, met with lawyers representing the two players and insisted that despite the delay they were seeking as early a finish as possible to the hearing. The panel also includes former Test player Haseeb Ahsan and sports medical expert Dr Danish Zaheer as members.
“All parties, particularly the PCB, are very anxious that the matter is disposed off as early as possible,” Ebrahim told reporters outside the Academy. “We have started the hearing partly and despite the fact that there was a request of adjournment we insisted on making some progress. It will continue on Monday and it will continue day to day until it is concluded.”
The committee also announced that Mark Gay, the lawyer who represented them during the ICC hearings into the ball tampering controversy, will be assisting them if and when required. “It all depends upon whether we need him or not,” said Ebrahim. “We have no personal interest in the matter and let the case be decided in accordance with the law. The tribunal needs assistance and though the PCB started proceedings under its regulations, we have to take the decision. But we need assistance from every quarter, though ultimately only we will decide.”
Ebrahim refused to set a timeline for the conclusion of the hearing, insisting only that it would depend partly on “how much time the counsels of two players take. We have to give them complete opportunity to make their submissions. I am expecting to finish this as early as possible.”
Shoaib was handed a two-year and Asif a one-year ban by a doping committee on November 1, after both players tested positive for Nandrolone, the banned anabolic steroid. The tests had been conducted internally by the PCB in September, although the results only came in mid-October.
Both players were withdrawn from Champions Trophy on the eve of Pakistan’s first match, and they have since insisted they did not knowingly take any banned substances.

Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
Appellate Tribunal to hold second hearing of Shoaib, Asif cases today
By Mohammad Yaqoob
LAHORE Nov 19: The Pakistan Cricket Board’s three-member Appellate Tribunal (ADAT), set up to review the doping charges on suspended fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif, is likely to make rapid progress towards a bold decision when it meets for a second hearing on Monday.
Sources said the lawyers of the two bowlers were determined to question the sample collecting procedures adopted by the PCB medic, Dr Sohail Salim as it was the only way to get a decision in their clients’ favour. A press statement issued on Saturday by Hasib Ahsan, a member of the ADAT, would definitely help the lawyers of the two pacers in projecting their cases. “There are many pre-requisitions in WADA regulations and these have not been fulfilled by the PCB,” said Hasib while talking to Voice of America radio service the other day.
Shoaib has hired the services of renowned lawyer, Abid Hasan Manto while Asif is represented by his lawyer Aftab Gul, a former Test cricketer.
The first hearing could only last for one and half hour on Wednesday since Shoaib’s counsel pleaded that he was not in a position to fight the case until the time he received the relevant documents from the PCB.
Sources further said the ADAT was not happy over the PCB’s decision of involving England-based sports lawyer Mark Gay, who specially came down from London to attend the first hearing.
The PCB has hired him to assist the tribunal but without consulting Justice Fakharuddin G Ibrahim who heads the appellate tribunal which has Hasib Ahsan and Dr Danish Zaheer as its members.

Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
Considering the amount of time it has taken for this appeal, and we're still waiting, I have a sneaking suspicion that the punishment will be lessened if not cleared. For the sake of Pakistan cricket, I certainly hope so.
Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
they will be cleared because the testing procedure was flawed.

^ Naseem Ashraf’s statement seems softening compared to his hard line approach before…so your guess might come true..
Shoaib, Asif issue internal matter: PCB chief
ISLAMABAD: The doping issue of Shoaib Akhtar and Muhammad Asif is an internal matter of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and verdict on the appeals of these fast bowlers is likely to be announced early next week, the PCB Chairman, Dr. Nasim Ashraf, said on Saturday.
“We will totally abide by the verdict of appeals committee which is likely to come out with its decision by Monday (tomorrow),” Dr. Nasim Ashraf told reporters in an informal chat after attending the meeting of the Asian Cricket Council’s (ACC) development committee.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) itself had conducted tests on players and these were out-of-competition tests,” he said. “As such the International Olympics Committee (IOC), the International Cricket Council (ICC) or WADA (World Anti Doping Agency) have nothing to do with it,” he added.
The appeals committee is currently hearing the appeals of fast bowlers Shoaib Akhtar and Muhammad Asif who were banned from the game for two and one years respectively by a specially-constituted PCB committee after both of them tested positive for using nandrolone, which is a banned performance-enhancing drug.
To a question, Dr. Nasim said the appeal committee was totally independent and the PCB would accept its verdict.
Re: Asif and Shoaib to appeal
They are giving example of tennis player Rudzeski who was found positive of nanadrolone ,but was later cleared because they found that the supplements that he was taking were spiked with steroids.according to a survery about 10% to 15% of nutritional supplements sold in America are contaminated with anabolic steroids.
