The example set by PCB by imposing ban on Shoib and Asif was an example for other cricket playing nation. But now they have pardoned them, setting another example of fake decision taken earlier.
I think this is planned one. If australia can protect their players then why pakistan cant protect them. I think only we indians are taking serious steps and slamming punishment on players. i dont know its right or wrong but it seems entirely planned doping and their results to protect their players from icc. and we all know that icc is just run by a bunch fools who dont act on time.
PCB did a fair trial for Shoaib & Asif. Atleaset other player should take lesson. PCB ask neutral persons to judge and also they called Dope test specialist from UK. My openion it was a fair trial and PCB give opportunity to both players. Justice Fakhruddin gave a correct decision. Now we can see speedstar shoaib akhter in action. India should also produce speedstar like Shoaib but unfortunately good bowler like balaji, nehra out from Indian Team because of politics.

The drama by PCB is great entertainment. Irrespective of what naive apologists of Shoaib may believe, PCB knows that without drugs, Shoaib is a spent force.That is why it has asked Shoaib to prove his fitness by playing in domestic cricket. Mohd Asif learned Pakistani tricks of cheating very early. PCB wants to see how good he is without drugs.Shoaib cannot last in Pak team for more than 1 year without drugs. He will either breakdown or will be thrashed by batsmen in the world cup if selected by PCB.

Well if u think Balaji and Nehra are better bowlers than zaheer, pathan, and sreesanth,, god help you. Balaji was a one hit wonder, he just did well in one series against Pakistan. And Nehra, when did he manage to play an entire series without getting injured, he's so unfit. But sure these 2 never doped, maybe if they do they might get better
It was just a effort by PCB to show the world that they had fair trial even though it was totally rigged but I guess its a good thing for Cricket since now Pakistan is bolstered by the duos, return and is a World Class team again.
And here we have indians coming up with conspiracy theories again!! Have you understood that the these players took supplements after being adviced, and did it so that they could recover faster? You should get it now. Stop making up conspiracy theories and take this verdict like a man! Because it ain\'t changing.
Hello, Its just my coment on freed from drug taking asif and akthar.
The pak cricket board deceeion completely wrong. acording to the sport law its proved already and they must punish. whatever the reason may be but wrong is wrong. everybody is 1000 reason why they take drug but it comes to sportsman its entirely diferent. pak cricket board just protested their players. unknown hands worked in this case. What for ICC and what for Boards and what for such rules and regulations. No values at all. either he is fatsets bowler or what no matter if he comits he had drug he must be punished thats what my coment.
It was a shame on PCB to not follow their zero drug tolerance. Acquitting charges on these players will not only degrade the image of Pakistan(which is now in a lot of controversies), it also means that these players can do anything they wanted if not in a explicit way but they have in a way encouraged the doping. What a shame.

Hi, ronnie, you want to see cheats in action. Most of Shoaib's 'Exploits' in the past were due to drugs. Donot be dumb. Understand why he took drugs. With his long runup and penchant for speed he was bound to breakdown. There was no drug test in cricket all these days. So pakis indulged in it merrily. Remember, in 1990s four Pak players including Wasim Akram and Waquar Yunus were caught with drugs in West Indies by police. Pak board has always covered up and even encouraged cheating by Pakistani players. Only this time, due to internal politics and slapping of coach Bob Woolmer by Shoaib, he was initially punished and later exonerated. In future, Shoaib will not get away with drugs as in past, and hence he is going to be belted by all and sundry. Do not be naive. Cheating in cricket is in Pakistani blood.

hey ronnie, as pathetic as we're playing these days, last time we played Pak,we beat them 4-1 in their own backyard, and yea one of the dopers was playing in that series too.
Well earlier when PCB imposed a ban on these 2, i thought they had set a great example, now this whole thing looks staged. I dont understand what made them lift the ban, intentional or unintentional, noone who gets caught doping would say that he did it on purpose, he wd obviously say it was a mistake. Poor batsmen, they have to face a bowler who chucks and dopes.
