Shoaib Akhtar Banned for Two Years Due to Doping

Shoaib Akhtar Banned for two years due to doping. A Pakistan Cricket Board drugs tribunal banned Shoaib Akhtar for two years and fellow-fast bowler Mohammad Asif for one year on Wednesday after finding them guilty of doping offences.

A statement issued by the tribunal said both players had been informed of the decision and have the right to appeal.

Finally. -_-

 

^ yeah....

 

Big loss for pak cricket team as he wont be playing at the World Cup.

 

^
Is that bad?

 

For them, Yes.

 

what no death penalty?!

looking at his career shoaid qualifies well and good for some good ol' euthanasia now .. (chapter 1 paragaraph 5 'mercy killing')

 

Oh, no!! My mum gave it to me.

I dont know whats wrong with recreational drugs in sport though.

 

aahhh now thts sad

 

Hurrah!

But like what's wrong with dope in sports?
It gives a level playing field to everyone.

 

Indians should dope.

If they are caught they all will be banned.
If they are not, we might start winning major tourneys.

Its a win-win situation.

 

m sure woh b woh log thik say ker nai payengay

 

thats reallly sad. i hope they revoke the decision or at least allow the ban to be effective from after the world cup. if akhtar doesnt play this world cup, then we may never see such a kick ass pace bowler again.

 

he deserved the punishment.
i always thought he chucked he should have got banned for that also.

 

I Agree......

 

Shoaib had some medicine, and there was some thing in the Medicine which is illegal .. -.- ... now he is banned ... BIG BIG BIG loss for pakistan .
but his career is not Done...he will be back

 

^ i wouldnt think so .. the tribunal that made the decision wasnt made up of low IQ third graders .. if there was a slightest bit of chance that the drug was taken accidently, shoaib would have been cleared ..
the decision to ban him for 2 years actually reflect the severity of his act and the degree of his guilt ..

having said that .. i do feel sorry for the guy .. though i am sure he will make a tv appearance soon .. in a movie or drama etc.

 

Well, Fred Trueman turned out to be a real monster of a fast bowler even when he was 40. So its not as if its the end for this guy.

 

Akhtar posters should also be banned from ind-pak venues. It is enough to scare Dravid and party. Remember Ganguly blink his eyes
Pakis are never short of quality fast bowlers or cricketers
btw he took dopes to improve batting?

 

i think its gud players shuld play witouth ne drugs
