lol.looks like shoaib akhtar bought justice fakhruddin a brand new car for his kids wedding or something.its a welcome decision, but a bit unbelievable.The doctor on the panel has come out against the decision.it was a 2-1 vote.

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

I don't have a good feeling about this. I hope the decision does not rebound on Pakistan. I hope I am proved wrong. A second test before making the final decision would have been good. The image of Pakistan and Pakistani cricket is more important to me than the career of these two players. Apologies to all here who feel elated. I wish I could.

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

wada has already made it clear that it will take it with the icc if these guys are cleared.

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

That's two wrongs in a row. Initially, Naseem Ashraf had the discipline ka bhoot sawar on him and now they have gone totally in the other direction. Wonder what will be the reaction of the other test playing nations ...

*Ehsan bhai, there will indeed be another test for these two before their next tour.

To all the pessimistic doubters who had given up hope, kiss my rear end and thank God for it. Kallis just wet his pants. Twice.*

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

What's funny with the Indians fans is that at the time Shoaib and Asif were accused, Indian ODI team was riding high and they were mocking us. Now they are down in the dumps with no fixed combination, while we can only get better with these two joining us again Inshallah.

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

This is great news but let's hope too that both Shoaib and Asif learn a lesson from all this.They should know now that not knowing what's in the supplements won't be accepted as an excuse by the ICC. So they better be careful about what they are taking as supplements, medicines etc. in the future.

I think the controversy that this issue created is a big enough lesson for all young up-and-coming bowlers. This has made “doping” a household term in Pakistan, and that’s a good thing to be honest.

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

read this:
Ibrahim said the committee found it was "clearly, plainly evident that Shoaib Akhtar nor Mohammad Asif were ever warned or cautioned against taking supplements." Neither player was "even provided with any international or local publication warning them against the use supplements," the committee was quoted by AFP. It was the committee's "considered view that Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif have successfully established that they had an honest and reasonable belief that the supplements ingested by them did not contain any prohibited substances.

^so they are saying that the supplements these guys took were contaminated with nandorolone?.

Over-the-counter, legal supplements have been shown to lead to production of nandrolone, and that’s one of the points Shoaib’s and Asif’s lawyers based their case on.

If somehow i had a control on PCB :) , i would have taken Asif as part of Pakistani team and Shoaib as bowling coach with Waqar :)

Shoaib as coach, we want a coach who can teach the intricacies of bowling to the team not the sutleties of drinking and dancing and loutish behaviour. :)

Re: Breaking News: Shoaib and Asif cleared of doping charges

All has been in the limelight for Pak cricket including this controvercial episode
Now that its cleared and done with lets hope the couple are ready to make some bunnies all over again.

The way Indians are playing right now, two things are going to happen;
Mr. Chappel will be booted out at the end of his contract sooner than later.
Indians need to revisit their drawing board much sooner, infact now!

God Bless Pakistan - ZindaBad, Baqi sub es kaybaad
Can’t wait to talk to Shoaib again
