theguyinallblue Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 1. Mohammed Asif Pakistan pacer Mohammed Asif is the first cricketer to have tested positive twice in dope tests even though cricket is replete with incidents where a number of players have been found guilty of the offence. 2. Shoaib Akhtar Asif and fellow-Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar had tested positive for banned drug nandrolone in 2006 ahead of the Champions Trophy tournament in India. 3. Shane Warne Cricket's image took a beating in 2003 when Australian spin wizard Shane Warne was found guilty of using banned diuretics and was subsequently excluded from the World Cup team. 4. David Murrey West Indies player David Murray had also conceded that he was taking drugs since 1978. He revealed that he took marijuana before and after the match and even had to go to the jail for the offence. 5. Ian Botham England all-rounder Ian Botham was also suspended for two months by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) for consuming hemp. Botham initially denied taking any drug but according to reports he later accepted his guilt. 6. Wasim Akram Former Pakistani pacer Wasim Akram was accused of carrying marijuana during his team's West Indies tour in 1993 while his compatriots Aqib Javed, Waqar Younis and Mushtaq Ahmed were arrested for the same reason. 7. Stephen Fleming Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming was caught red handed consuming hemp in 1993-94 during the South Africa tour. Fingers were also raised on Matthew Hart, Dion Nash, Adam Parore and Shane Thomson though New Zealand Cricket imposed fines only on Fleming and Hart. 8. Herschelle Gibbs Six players from the South African team were imposed heavy fines for using narcotics while celebrating their win over the Caribbean team in 2000-01. Herschelle Gibbs, Andre Nel, Justin Kemp, Roger Telemachus, Paul Adams and team physio Craige Smith were fined US $ 13,000 for the offence. As far as India is concerned no player while playing for country till date has been found guilty of using drugs. Link to comment
punjabi_khota Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Lol ..you are mixing performance enhancing and recreational drugs..marijuana is legal in many countries and doesn't help build muscles/endurance/anything at all...it just gets you high. Hell, I think it should be legal everywhere. Link to comment
THX_1138 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 half of those listed are about half as guilty of what some of us here are guilty of (including yours truely). recreational drugs are hardly the social evil that they have been construed to be. i dont think it is fair to bundle gibbs, akram, flemming, botham and murrey in the same group as warne, akhtar and asif. while warne's abuse of diuretics will forever remain a mystery... i personally do not buy the vanity defense he had put forth, but i do know that once asif's sample b tests return, and return positive, then asif is our first bonafide hall of famer of the hall of shame! akhtar is close at his heels.

That's the limit of desperation. Wishing ill to others will not make things easy for you. PCB and Pakistani cricket has been and will be laughed at by the rest of the world because they have been acting that way. Go to any forum you can find and see, they are all laughing at you. If it was an isolated incident, people would have been sympathetic. But PCB and Pakistani cricket is a self created mess for a long time. Jokers. Link to comment

I know PCB is screwed up, but BCCI isn't far behind.... Link to comment

Gambit Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Pak fans have no leg to stand on given the antics of their players of the years. Their players are quite simply the undisputed champions in this regard. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 Munda Pakistani.... Perhaps you do not know the family background of N Sidhu... the family he belongs to would have kicked him out of Punjab had he been guilty of that trajic death. N Sidhu never touched that old man.. he died of heart attack... it was one of the friends who pushed that old man .. N Sidhu is still not convicted of any crime... he has not taken shelter of any "technicalities" of laws to save himself... so you are clutching the straw here ..really.. Link to comment
Sachinism Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Leave Asif alone, how many people don't enjoy the odd date with Mary Jane? But shame on him for taking performance enhancing substances Link to comment
