Tharanga suspended for three months

If you're planning to take something that is on the list to treat a problem' date=' you have to inform the authorities before you take it.[/quote'] Exactly.

You seriously have reading disabilities. It clearly says when "administered systematically". DO you know what that means? There is absolutely no current evidence that Tharanga systematically took that drug for performance enhancement. Yet you go running around screaming like a mad man that his record should be expunged etc. Are you insane?

I do have reading disability when it comes to your posts. I would still not have pulled the crap Tharanga did. All athletes who cheat have the most stupid of excuses. He tested positive. What is that you dont understand Stephen Hawking?

You are a nutcase, I am done. Presumption of innocence until proven guilty seems to be unknown to you, so I don't have anymore time to waste on you Stephen Hawking.

[Guest Gunner]

No he is guilty. The drug was in his system so quit apologising for him

:hysterical::hysterical: Ok. :cantstop::cantstop:

[kabira]

WhichI agree is probably where Tharanga went wrong. Either he was unaware or just plain stupid but until there is evidence that he did it on putpose he should be presumed to be innocent.

No Rules are pretty clear, even if he did not do it purposely, he should know what he is taking. Does not matter if took it purposely or not.

It is possible that he was unaware of the nature of the substance he was taking or was simply unclear about the rules. Why can't we wait to condemn him? It is silly to just assume he is absolutely guilty without knowing what are the full facts.

My dog ate my home work.So far I have been civil to you. You have crossed the limit multiple times. Go duck off you $%^.

[kabira]

^yes, but rules clearly say you should be aware. No other excuse is allowed.

[Midfielder]

No Rules are pretty clear' date=' even if he did not do it purposely, he should know what he is taking. Does not matter if took it purposely or not.[/quote'] That is exactly what the rule is. If you are unaware of the rule that is not a defnse in any court of law.

I never knew that Tharanga could evoke such passionate responses from both sides. :cantstop:

I think you're the laughing stock in this thread. It doesn't matter if the drugs were ingested deliberately or not. If they are in his system then he is guilty. Intent does not matter.

So true. There are multiple steroids he could have taken but why the banned one. If this is my career I would be aware of this rule. Except for Baseball no other sport allows the use of this drug. Gunner has lost it trying to defend this drug cheat and accusing Gambhir without any proof. This character needs to know Indian players like Gambhir are professional enough to know not to do it.

[Ponka]

Ponka demands that this thread to be locked until proofs are shared by the ICC to the SLC board. Until then it should be considered as Masala News.

I agree that the punishment would have to be meted out regardless of his intention for taking the substance. a suspension would be in order if the B-sample is tested positive. But making allegations of cheating, without having proof that it is a performance enhancing steroid and asking for records to be expunged is too extreme.

The only problem I have with him is if his inning had a positive effect for SL. If confirmed 100% (which I think it would be) then as a minimum he should be suspended as Football does to their players.
