Raza Hasan banned for two years

Why o why would you do such a stupid thing and ruin your career? If you are not fit don’t play and work on your fitness level. Now he has to wait at least 2 years before he can play any form of cricket

Dope testing in sports has been in the news for many years, so Raza cannot really claim ignorance regarding this

Good job PCB for conducting tests at domestic level. Eliminate this menace for good. Hope he learns from his mistakes and others learn from him as well.

Raza Hasan, the Pakistan left-arm spinner, has been suspended from playing any form of cricket for two years, having tested positive for a prohibited substance.
The Pakistan Cricket Board had conducted dope tests during the Pentangular one-day cup 2015 in Karachi. The sample collected from Hasan was subsequently analysed at a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited laboratory. The results were relayed to the PCB, who banned Hasan on the basis of their anti-doping rules.
“During the period of ineligibility, he will not be entitled to participate in any capacity, in any cricket match or activity (other than authorised anti-doping education or rehabilitation programmes) authorised or organised by the PCB,” a PCB release said
The PCB had notified Hasan of their findings on March 24, and he did have the opportunity to request a hearing within 14 days, but did not do so.
The 22-year old Hasan has played 10 Twenty20 matches for Pakistan, having made his debut in September 2012. He went on to participate in the World T20 later in the month, where he took three wickets in four matches at an economy of 4.93.
His ODI experience is limited to only one match, and he last played international cricket in December 2014 against New Zealand.

He had talent but very sad to hear this

Re: Raza Hasan banned for two years

This appears to be recreational drug use issue, not a performance enhancement drug failure. Two years seems harsh. Hopefully it will get reduced on appeal.

Re: Raza Hasan banned for two years

You probably have a point. Maybe that’s why the punishment is only 2 years. Otherwise he could have received a harsher punishment or even life ban

Re: Raza Hasan banned for two years

Awaress about usage of drugs is very important . PCB need to focus on it .

Re: Raza Hasan banned for two years

10 Twenty20 matches! That’s extracting too much from him I think, if he is an ordinary leg-spinner! Otherwise PCB may have slammed him with doping positive result only because he apologised!
