Re: Fate of Shoaib and Asif
I have only 2 comments :
(1) For the PCB : What is the point in testing the team for dope when you are not willing to punish player(s) who test positive for banned substances.
(2) Now , one might say that there is no "definitive" proof that Akhtar/Asif intentionally took those banned substances. Well, if you are looking for "definitive proof" of "intentional" use, then you might as well do away with the test. No test in the world can provide that proof and in 99/100 cases - players will claim innocence.
So , unless there is a zero-tolerance policy pre-specified, doping tests have no meaning.
