There's a difference between consuming a performance enhancing drug (Warne, Akhtar, Asif) and something like Marijuana. Marijuana, like Alcohol, is a narcotic - it retards the central nervous system. It's like showing up to play drunk - you'll get out first ball. Contrast this to naldrolone that is an anabolic steroid, to beef up muscles and prevent injury.
What Akram or Murray did may have been illegal in the country they were at the time (note Marijuana is legal in many countries. Bhang is marijuana, and while not technically legal, cultural reasons make police look the other way), their actions had nothing to do with cheating. It was like Flintoff getting drunk - indisciplined, yes, stupid, yes, but not cheating. To lump all of them together in one boat is blurring the issue between recreational drug use and performance enhancing drug use. Of the former, one should hardly care - it's a personal choice and should be dealt with by the respective board. The other is cheating and needs to be dealt with by ICC/WADA.
NO VACANCY FOR MOHD. ASIF. THE HALL IS ALREADY FULL WITH LIFE SIZE PHOTOGRAPHS OF OUR CONGRESS LEADERS FROM TOP TO BOTTOM. MAY BE HE CAN TRY PLACE IN "BALL OF SHAME"
i really dont now what happening this players this days,they have already tested positive once, this is very bad for all cricket nation, pakistan cirket board to take concread measurese ASAP.
I Swear these two things can’t happen in our Lifetime.
* Both Asif & Akthar Playing together in any coming matches.(Either One will be in Penalty.) * Both Asif And Akthar Playing Three Series Successively.(Both Will be in Penalty.)
What about match fixing? Its a bigger crime to cheat with your country by not playing well rather than using enhancing drugs to improve perfomance in general
