Sounds ridiculous but true! But friends, you might have read in newspapers very few days back (may be 10 days) in some newspapers in India and I, in particular read in the daily "Gulf News" here in Abu Dhabi that even though the duo are not taking anything as %u2018performance enhancing drugs%u2019 after the first test; the stains of the said drug/drugs will remain present in their body for the next couple of months, and can be easily detected whenever they get tested/examined for the same. So, nothing is new. It is shocking that these two great players are spoiling their own lives, and none other is to blame except themselves. Secondly, I may be wrong but like India, there is a history of %u2018victimization of talents%u201D in Pakistan sports also and Cricket in particular. I hope something/someone is also going wrong and against them in the top management body of selection or within the team itself. Anyway, if they do not make themselves finally into squad, it would be a great loss for Pakistan and their bowling sector will definitely be weaker and ineffective. Thirdly and to be more precise, the name of this sports as %u201CGentlemen%u2019s%u2019 game%u201D has been spoiled greatly by Australians through their slangs, sledging and behaviour in the field. The drugs don%u2019t defame any sports or make it %u2018Notorious%u2019 but the collective behaviour of a team/teams during play spoils the spirit of any game - Kamal Verma, Abu Dhabi, UAE

The spirit of the game is also spoilt by the religious zeal in teams like pakistan who cannot take defeat from India sportingly.

Mr Das, the source of the news has been mentioned already: "...The 'News' on Tuesday quoted a source as saying."
i am not sure about akthar for the freak he is.. but asif being the new kid in international cricket wouldnt risk. nandralone for long has been centre of controversy in the sport world especially athletics. poor Asif must have used some ointment or taken a tablet for flu which would have increased his nandralone levels...
