Ankit_sharma03 Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Discarded India all-rounder Yusuf Pathanfailed a dope test during a tournament last season. Pathan played only one Ranji Trophy game for Baroda this season. It is learnt that the BCCI informed the state association not to pick Pathan after he failed the dope test. Pathan played his last Ranji game in October versus Andhra in which he scored four runs and went wicket-less. According to a source close to Pathan, the all-rounder took a medicine after he was feeling unwell. However, he failed to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption. Pathan has consumed a medicine named Brozeet which has Terbutaline in it. While Terbutaline is a banned substance, a player is allowed to take it if he has taken prior permission. But it is learnt that neither Pathan nor the team doctor took prior permission. “There was a substance which was in the medicine which falls under the banned list. He took that particular medicine on the advice of the team doctor. He was not aware that the medicine he took had something which was banned,” the source said. Terbutaline, a specified substance, is a bronchodilator and is taken when people have trouble breathing or for medical condition such as asthma. It is also present in commonly-used expectorants administered for cough and cold. Last year, Indian football team goalkeeper Subrata Pal had also tested positive for the same susbstance. He was let off after provisional suspension. The 30-year-old Paul, an Arjuna Awardee, had said that he has been given treatment for cough which had troubled him. Pathan is the second Indian cricketer to have failed a dope test. In 2013, Delhi medium-pacer Pradeep Sangwan was banned for 18 months after he returned a positive test. Pathan has played 57 ODIs and 22 T20 Internationals for India. His last international appearance was against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2012. He played the IPL because the test results came only later. link - http://indianexpress.com/article/sports/cricket/india-discard-yusuf-pathan-failed-dope-test-last-season-5016837/ Link to comment

Just to prevent people from outperforming others by taking undue advantage in any game? You do not have to play Olympics to dope. It's good its there. Doping shouldn't have any place in the game. Now in this case I am not sure yet but if someone takes steroids to lose weight and stuff and if it doesn't have anything to do with enhancing performance, then I am all for allowing them pardon as it doesn't make sense because WADA does have some drugs which are not performance enhancing and yet appear in the test. In those cases, it makes sense to not ban player. Link to comment
maniac Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Unless it was intended for performance elsewhere outside of the cricket ground...don’t think we can blame him for performance enhancing drugs.he should be let go. Link to comment

Forever Indian Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If the team doctor has prescribed it for his cough/cold and the player takes it, why punish the player for that? Also, doesn't make sense how a substance which is present in many cough/cold expectorant syrups can enhance someone's performance if taking in that small quantity? How many domestic players have the money to have private counselling and research into the ingredients of each medicine they take? Surely it should be the state board which should do that and it is the team doctor who is the expert in this regard and failed to get permission. Gollum and speedheat 2 Link to comment

A professional sportsperson is not a doctor to know which banned substances to look out for in each medicine, so he needs to seek guidance of specialist sports doctor. Most domestic cricketers cannot have individual private sports doctor, so the team doctor should take that responsibility. If a team doctor doesn't know that there is a banned substance in the medicine he is prescribing, then isn't it his fault? Link to comment

What's on the banned lists is a different question. In this case Parhan put something on that banned list inside his body. He has access to the banned substance lists, The doctor part of this is a state concern that they employ an incompetent medical person. But I say this again Pathan and any sportsman are responsible for their taking of substances GoldenSun 1 Link to comment
