Laaloo Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 didn't asif proclaim that he was tested negative during the IPL.
Gambit Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 huh? read post 15 Wasn't WADA involved in the Akhtar/Asif Nandro fiasco before the WC? What happened there?
Dhondy Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 As far as I understand, nobody can be indicted on one positive sample, unless sample B too tests positive. Gambit, PCB was not a signatory to the WADA code when that happened.
theguyinallblue Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 But not to worry.... nothing will happen. IPL can only suspend or cancel the contract of the doppy.... it can not punish. similarly ICC as well and WADA also..can not do such thing as BCCI is not yet the signatory of WADA...or ICC Dope rule..? so again the ball will be in the court of PCB...and we all know...how PCB works... but If Asif is really the culprit then it will be his second offense... i hope PCB acts this time...more so now that PCB is now the signatory of WADA. The IPL has also given shape for a dope code based on the World Anti Doping (WADA) Code. It is expected that Board of Cricket Control Board of India would start a new model for players for random testing. But it is not yet clear that how can the dope test, if implemented, be effective in the IPL tournament. There are still doubts over the move of the ICC for a dope test. Many people have questioned the relevance of testing in the IPL. There are also apprehensions that an international player competing in the IPL be sanctioned as per the WADA Code in case there is a ‘positive’ test and an anti-doping violation charge is proved. The BCCI does not have an anti-doping code and thus it cannot conduct tests or sanction a player. Doping test hassles for IPL With IPL matches getting more momentum there has been demand for scientific models for dope tests for players participating in the IPL matches. Recently an International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting held at Dubai has asked the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the ‘owner’ of the Indian Premier League (IPL), to introduce an anti-doping code for the tournament. The IPL has also given shape for a dope code based on the World Anti Doping (WADA) Code. It is expected that Board of Cricket Control Board of India would start a new model for players for random testing. But it is not yet clear that how can the dope test, if implemented, be effective in the IPL tournament. There are still doubts over the move of the ICC for a dope test. Many people have questioned the relevance of testing in the IPL. There are also apprehensions that an international player competing in the IPL be sanctioned as per the WADA Code in case there is a ‘positive’ test and an anti-doping violation charge is proved. The BCCI does not have an anti-doping code and thus it cannot conduct tests or sanction a player. But the IPL machinery has no teeth for taking disciplinary action against players on ground of positive dope test. They have only power to suspend players from ongoing matches. There is no hint that how BCCI could deal with the issue if an anti-doping rule violation charge was proved. The IPL code has the standard two-year suspension for a first violation and life-time ineligibility for a second offence.
Desi Cartman Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Under the WADA rules, if a player is tested positive twice in the same year for doping, he can be banned for life from international cricket. Seems like the Pakistani’s career will be in grave danger if he is declared the culprit. Talking to Zeenews, former Pakistan cricketer Zaheer Abbas said that the player, whosoever it maybe, if tested positive, should be banned from the game so that the other players think twice before they take any performance enhancing drugs and hurt the spirit of the game. On the issue of life ban under WADA rules, he said that it is difficult to ban a player for life but a ban for a year or two should definitely be slapped so as to set up an example. He repeated that the player, irrespective of his name, should be banned if tested positive for dope. Link

beetle Posted July 13, 2008 Author Posted July 13, 2008 Why are people suspecting only Asif? Why not Akhtar?
DomainK Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Its not yet confirmed who it is. Every channel is saying "according to our sources".
Dirty_South Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Wasn't it Actor who had a bag full of syringes ? :giggle:
DomainK Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Sample taken at IPL tests positive Cricinfo staff July 13, 2008 A sample taken from random testing at the inaugural season of the IPL has tested positive, IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has confirmed to Cricinfo. This is the first step of the verification process, Modi said, and there are several stages before a player is deemed to have failed the test. The tests were carried out under the supervision of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), after the IPL adopted the ICC's code on doping. "Two days ago the IPL received a letter from a Swiss agency, mandated by WADA, which said one sample had tested positive," Modi said. "The IPL will follow set procedures from now on." The first step, he said, is to match the identity of the player with the sample. Next, the player's form, filled out before the match, will be scrutinised for any pre-declared or prescribed drug; if that matches the drug found in the sample, the matter ends there. If not, the player is informed and a 'B' sample is sent for testing, Modi said. If that, too, is positive the matter will be taken up by the IPL's drugs tribunal, comprising a leading doctor, a former cricketer and a lawyer. The committee will study the issue and take a decision, for which there will be a separate appeals tribunal. "This is just the procedure," Modi said, "as of now we are at the first stage where one sample has tested positive. The issue is now with the IPL's medical committee. The identity of the player will matter only after we check on the pre-declared drugs." More to follow © Cricinfo
The Outsider Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Guys, please stop naming a player unless you have some source.
DomainK Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 The name is just a speculation by most tv channels what their reporters are calling 'from my source'. We know that in 80% of cases there isnt a source.
The Outsider Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 ^No, not referring to Asif's name which has indeed been mentioned in news but to Dilhara Fernando being brought up without a source/link.
DomainK Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 I wonder if WADA will be able to do something this time. Even if the pacer is an Indian, I want to see a proper punishment for the culprit. Too many wrong examples have been already set in this game.
Predator_05 Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Name has the letter G Manpreet Gony, it is then. But surely not Agarkar ?
