EnterTheVoid Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Mohammed Asif Drug Hearing at Wankhede Stadium Now, moving on to more serious matters. Asif's drug hearing's to take place at the Wankhede Stadium at 11:00 AM (IST) and I am looking forward to the hearing. I believe, the BCCI took a strong stance when they banned Harby for the 11 IPL games although, I do feel they let Sreesanth off the hook far too easily, where a just / fair punishment would have been 50 floggings of the cane for blubbering like a baby on national television If the IPL / BCCI has any self respect / authority and have learnt anything from the factitious tour down under, it is that they should clamp down on player behavior early on, so that they don't treat the game with the utmost contempt / disrespect. I hope this type of strict punishment extends not only to the IPL / domestic trophy games, but to games that also involve international cricketers Now, this is not the PCB where clowns / jokers get unlimited chances. Of all the fuss India created over sledging / sportsmanship and even went to the extent of introducing the 'fair play' award to promote respect / tolerance in the IPL, we can't be looking to go soft on the tough issues when our BCCI acts as if our international cricketers can do no wrong and constantly claim to have the moral high ground Now, its not a case of, oh, he's pakistani, lets poach him, its a case of principle. If he wants to smoke / smuggle while in the PAK team, let the PCB handle him. This is the IPL and of all the fuss the India created during the Australian tour, the BCCI has a duty to ensure this kind of nonsense is not tolerated and games are played / won in good spirit / merit / sportsmanship Here are a few articles to get us back to speed on the latest news: ‘Asif can be banned for life’ Wednesday, 21 January , 2009, 23:24 Last Updated: Thursday, 22 January , 2009, 00:11 Karachi: Pakistan pacer Mohammad Asif can even get a life ban for carrying opium, a leading Pakistani sports medicine expert said Wednesday. Danish Zaheer, president of Sports Medicine Association of Pakistan, said in an interview that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has strict regulations as far as possessing drugs is concerned and Asif may face a minimum of four years' suspension or a life ban following the drugs offence. Asif, 28, is facing a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) inquiry over his detention in Dubai last June after being found to be in possession of opium. Saleem Altaf, the PCB chief operating officer, told reporters the other day WADA had no jurisdiction in Asif's Dubai detention case, and added that it would be decided following an internal inquiry being conducted by the board. However, Zaheer disputed that claim. "If WADA had no jurisdiction, they would not have written a letter to PCB," he said. "Opium, according to WADA code, is considered under Drug Trafficking and Possession Clause and there is no question of one being caught in or out of competition. Moreover, as per reports published in media quoting Dubai Officials, Asif has already admitted the usage and possession of opium that could spell further disaster for him," Zaheer added. Speaking on Asif's contention that he used opium as a herbal medicine to boost his blood pressure and energy levels, Zaheer said: "Ignorance of law is no excuse and it would be very difficult for Asif to win his case on this weak argument". Asif is also facing a hearing of the Indian Premier League's Drugs Tribunal in Mumbai, Sunday. He is facing a possible two-year ban after failing a dope test while featuring in the inaugural IPL season last May. http://sify.com/sports/fullstory.php?id=14842276 Mohammad Asif's IPL hearing on Saturday MUMBAI: The Indian Premier League (IPL) is most likely to ban Mohammad Asif for life after he tested positive for a banned substance during the semifinals of the tournament last year. The hearing will be held on Saturday at the Cricket Centre, office of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) at 11 am, where Asif will be represented by his Karachi-based lawyer Shahid Karim, who is in Mumbai along with the cricketer. Asif, it is learnt, has also gone ahead and hired an Indian lawyer to assist Karim. Meanwhile, the IPL tribunal that will hear Asif's case includes former India batsman Sunil Gavaskar, advocate Shirish Gupte and Dr Ravi Bapat. It is learnt that Asif personally has also given up any hope of playing in the IPL, especially after he parted ways with Delhi Daredevils a few days ago. His priority now is to get back to playing domestic cricket in Pakistan for which he needs to get over with the IPL hear as soon as possible. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also called for an internal hearing when Asif returns home and has denied the International Cricket Council (ICC) an opportunity to get involved. http://ipl.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Asifs_IPL_hearing_on_Saturday/articleshow/4024156.cms Link to comment
Pak_Forever Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 He won't be banned for life. Maximum 2 years I say, and he should rightly get that for his high level of ignorance and stupidity. Pakistan will immensely miss him in Test cricket. Hopefully he will learn his lesson and will come back strong. Link to comment
EnterTheVoid Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Theres actually a lot of pressure from the IPL sponsors to hand him a tough stance and justifiably so. They pay a mountain of money to advertise / promote the game not only in India, but abroad as well and in their eyes, having clowns / drug cheats devalues the competition. Committing the same offense three times and getting let off twice based on a technicality makes a mockery of the good gesture / understanding's the fines were handed in. If Asif gets banned, he an head out to Yousuf's ave in the NWFP region and shoot heroin/ opium / horse tranquilizers till his heart's content Link to comment
DomainK Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It says the IPL panel. Do they have the jurisdiction to ban him from ICC matches? Or is it just for IPL? ICC did issue a statement once that they would allow IPL to settle it and take their verdict....but does that mean that mean that the ban period will be enforced on international matches as well?

Guest Hiten. Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 It says the IPL panel. Do they have the jurisdiction to ban him from ICC matches? Or is it just for IPL? ICC did issue a statement once that they would allow IPL to settle it and take their verdict....but does that mean that mean that the ban period will be enforced on international matches as well? Yes, because of the fact that ICC has recognized IPL. Link to comment
Fontaine Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Considering he's a two time doper and an charsi two years is the least he should get. He should be banned for at least 5 years. Link to comment

Ram Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Whats this?????? http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/current/story/387666.html The Mohammad Asif saga No decision taken after Asif's dope hearing Nagraj Gollapudi January 24, 2009 Michael Graham: "I can say with authority that the drops elevated his [Asif's] nandrolone level marginally " © AFP Mohammad Asif, the Pakistan fast bowler, has told the IPL drugs tribunal that the presence of nandrolone in his dope test during the tournament's inaugural edition was the result of using eye drops which contained the banned substance. A hearing took place today in Mumbai, but the tribunal will meet again before reaching a decision. Asif told the tribunal - comprising Sunil Gavaskar, Dr Ravi Bapat and lawyer Shirish Gupte - that he was unaware Keratyl, the eye drops he used to treat a painful and inflamed eye, contained nandrolone and never imagined it could disrupt his career in such a "terrible" way. "The drops elevated his nandrolone level marginally and he played cricket with that painful eye and consequently failed a dope test in the IPL," Dr Michael Graham, a sports medicine expert told Cricinfo. Graham has been working on Asif's case from the day the Pakistan fast bowler's B sample was found positive last July, and was with his client for the hearing along with lawyer Shahid Karim. Asif and his team arrived at 10.45am at the BCCI headquarters, and proceedings began half an hour past noon. The hearing, which lasted nearly two hours, was held amid tight security, since local political parties had issued a warning against the entry of Pakistan nationals in the city following the terrorists attacks in November last year. Asif did not face the media contingent - eagerly waiting at the entrance - following the hearing, but Graham said his client wanted to apologise to everyone, including his country, the IPL and the media. "He had no knowledge that the drops contained a prohibited substance," he said. "He is so upset that the treatment has caused such a catastrophe to his cricketing career." Graham also hoped the tribunal would act wisely. "We pray for leniency but the ultimate decision is with the tribunal. There are intelligent individuals on it. They understand any result they give could have adverse effect on his career." This was Asif's second appearance before the tribunal. The first was on October 11, where after lengthy discussions between the two parties the case was adjourned. November 29 was the date set for the next hearing, which got delayed following the terrorist attacks in Mumbai. Graham said the postponement had caused further misery for Asif. "No evidence was presented before today. It was all legal arguments because we never got an opportunity to present our case earlier as the hearing was adjourned. We had all the paper work done and we were prepared but due to the terrible tragedy of November 26 it was postponed. Unfortunately, Asif has suffered tremendous defamation in the media." Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner, said the tribunal had not arrived at a decision yet, and will convene again. Gupte, a member of the tribunal, said they will hold internal discussions soon but did not reveal a time-frame for a possible verdict. Asif had tested positive for nandrolone during the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008 and his B sample also returned positive though there was a difference in the level of nandrolone in the two readings. Earlier this week, he was released by his franchise, the Delhi Daredevils, following a request by the fast bowler on personal grounds. Asif has been suspended from all forms of the game pending the result of the IPL inquiry by the Pakistan board, which is also investigating his detention at Dubai airport last year for possessing opium.
